Wow...that is some serious dedication there, and the US front of the hobby is indebted to your efforts. I'm glad none of us will have to go through shady German collectors to acquire this species now!

Thanks for sharing,

Very interesting story. :)

Is that German dealer still operating? If so, I really would like to know his name, just to avoid dealing with him in the future. ;) Maybe you can send me his name via PM.
