    Default Well, the wait was worth it! I finally got my Filly Birnando promised me!

    Well, the wait was worth it! I finally got my Filly Birnando promised me! If some of you folks know about the thread awhile back:
    "Evidence of Filarmonica Manufactured in Solingen?????"
    Birnando said how he felt Christmassy & would send me a Filly free of charge.

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1431136

    He made two attempts & his post office sent it back to him but the third attempt made it. He sent me a pm about three weeks ago saying it made it to customs in NY. Then since they had bad weather up there, it was stuck in Garden City, NY for a couple of weeks & I finally got it today.
    Thank you very much Birnando, I love it & I'll never get rid of it! It will always be a special piece in my collection. It is the
    Filarmonica Especial Para Barbas Duras.
    Here it is exactly as I got it today........................

    Thank you my friend.
    It might be missing the rubber piece that goes around the tang but I don't care. It's special to me!
    Birnando is the greatest!

    You're making me hungry! There's a place in Philadelphia called Cliffs that makes such good cheesesteak sandwiches, they have lines of people that are so long they go around corners of buildings & across intersections..............
