    Hello, did anyone ever cross paths with the early Third Reich collector and noted author Karen Kuykendall in the 1960s-70s? She lived in the southwest US, San Diego and then in Arizona.
    She authored several articles in an early German monthly collectors phamplet called Das Hanken Krueze about 1966 and many others. Here is her archive:

    1923-1982

    She was ahead of her time. Best, Bill Bourque

    Sadly before my time. I've never heard of her.

    She certainly seems to have donated a lot to the university. Doesn't look like any of it is online/scannned.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Hello, a fellow collector here in the US actually has saved Der Hanken Kruez issues from the mid 1960s. As far as I know it was the earliest German collectors monthly, 1966. Karen Kuykendall pens a couple of articles. I always liked the the wolf. Best, Bill Bourque
