That answers that question loud and clear - thanks Jerry.

There was no malice - hence the (?) about the patent which would also include other stuff like copyrights.

Sadly, I don't recall the leather prototypes, but if I had probably would have passed back then because I wasn't yet ADDICTED to your design.

Glad to hear more are coming out. Since you hold the rights to the design I hope you have found, or do find, a leather maker...its just my olde geezer opinion, but I think you'd sell a bunch...as mentioned, a brown and a black to me. And if a brown nylon emerges one of those too.

Again, no malice intended....just an olde geezer trying to get what he wants - legally...

So, stand down other folks, this one's up to Jerry.
