schwarze Muetze aus grosser Zeit

People are desperate for fundamental certainty in the face of chaos. Chaos is the rule as is change. Look around you to see the results of same. No wonder. The list of RZM metal insignia or dagger makers forms an alibi for people who are too lazy to learn much about the past. They have no curiosity and less brains to grapple with the contradictions, the complexities, the oddities, the riddles and the things that no one can ever know. Their response is puffery and balderdash. Read the maroon mad house site and see what I write here in its glory.

the foetid woolens are silent, but the riddles scream at us.

Our small band of merry men will continue in trying to unearth the published facts of the period whether anyone else is interested or not.

Bravo. Gut so.

Our small band is pretty small, but the issue is one of quality versus quantity. How sad that over the years such has not grown to an army, but there is some deeper truth here that I cannot fathom. In any case, Ben's skill with the internet and his own hands has benefited us greatly, and me personally.

I asked my friends about all of this....

"Who cares?" is certainly the right question for the arcane, strange and generally pointless obsession of certain personages with old, dead thingies.

I've found it to be a personnal journey. To be interested in literature written in a language that I can't read takes some effort. I'm not entirely sure why it fascinates me so much actualy.

There resides much merit in the realms of character and intellect when one attempts something extraordinary, unconventional, difficult, time consuming, and still rewarding....beats the hell out of digging a deep hole in the ground and putting a swimming pool there for one's personal frolic. At the least the decadent Romans did such things together in public. So give me the RZM tag in its digital form.....

Times have moved on, I'm going to buy one of these and I'm going to sit there reading the Mitteilungsblatt der RZM and smoking a cigar! They still haven scanned the later publications yet BTW, will let you know when they have.
