Uwe,<br>
As you rightly guessed, I own Klumbach's book and I've even trnaslated it to Spanish for my own personal use (yes, I can 'read' German at a snail's pace and looking constantly to the dictionary, the results are around 90% reliable )<br>
If you read between the lines in Braat's paper, you will notice that the letter most probably is a forgery. If you read carefully the find account, the helmet and other items were at Smolenaar's house before anybody else could examine them 'in situ' (furthermore, Braat acknowledges that nobody from the museum went ever to visit the fidspot!)<br>
Carol thinks and i agree with her that the mass of decomposed felt lining inside the helmet ('it was full of hair') gave birth to the story of the drowned horseman.<br>
<br>
Ah, thanks for your opinion on my artillery page!<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
