Hi Angelo
he was not at kulmbach.
I have done 2 orders , in april and 20 days ago.
For the first order I have had the money back from PayPal.
For the second order I will wait some days than I will ask the money back.
I suppose they have closed.

Buonasera Angelo,
avevo provato a contattarlo prima di Kulmbach per pre-ordinare dei pezzi, magari incontrandoci lì pure se non aveva uno stend. Purtroppo non ho mai ricevuto risposta... :-(

in primavera ero riuscito (con molta fatica) ad ordinare un po di figurini (arrivati dopo molto tempo). Poi più niente..... deduco che abbia cessato l'attività...

From Ralph Fisher on another forum today:
"This afternoon I received a call from Axel Oldhafer. He told me that Hans-Dieter Oldhafer probably died on the weekend. He could not say it more precisely. You have to know: Hans-Dieter died in his apartment in Stade - his son lives on Lake Constance ...
Hans-Dieter Oldhafer was a very versatile publisher of 30mm flat figures. He explored his subjects very carefully. These were the Ottomans, the Polish army and Japan. We collectors owe him a huge number of figures on these topics.

For many years he was the 2nd chairman of the KLIO-AG SHOGUN. In this capacity, he communicated with draftsmen and engravers who worked on the AG's annuals. And he was also the casting master of the AG until recently. Both offices he has given for reasons of age and health.

Hans-Dieter leaves a gap that is difficult to fill - not only in the KLIO-AG SHOGUN but in the entire collector's collection.
My sympathy goes especially to his son. Dear Axel, I wish you the necessary strength."

RIP Axel Oldhafer, condolences to his family and friends.  Hopefully he was fabulously long lived - his efforts were certainly appreciated by many which is a nice legacy.


It has been a very unfortunate year for Editors in our already small community...
