Makes me wonder why.

As for the "musings of the old timers from Solingen": Whom would you trust, a retired German craftsman, or some American amateur with a vested commercial interest hawking honemiester [sic!] "services"?
You need not wait for Fillis or DDs as there are plenty on your side of the pond. I would trust the results of your electrostatic electron microscope survey if it had been done.
