Carl -

That KUBAN your talking about locating is going to run you more than a KRIM shield. Even in Luftwaffe, a KUBAN is more than a KRIM. I have knowledge of where a Luftwaffe backed KRIM shield is for $145 U.S.

Now, if you're talking about a CHOLM shield, I'd agree with you, and like a dummy, I sold my only CHOLM, first pattern steel because it was Army backed! What was I thinking!

Oh well, there's always something else coming down the pipe.
