There are current disputes about some of his goods as well.

Today, Brian's compensation for the armour owed to me but never delivered arrived. I have several cases of books. There are three titles present. Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship by Christian Henry Tobler In Service of the Duke by Christian Henry Tobler Arte Gladiatoria: 15th century Swordsm...

I would heartily recommend that attendees of Gulf Wars make their displeasure known, in a clear and gentlemanly manner as possible. No vitriol, no hate, no hurtful or angry words. Just send a simple message, give the authors their due. Make good to those you have wronged. Should people do this, I u...

Talbot

Greg, Christian, et. al, I hope I did not mess you guys up in offering to accept copies of books written by you in lieu of payment for debts he owed me. My hope was to give them to the authors so you could sell them yourself. However, based on the timing of your demand letter the books may not have ...

I have received another email from Brian this morning detailing what titles and quantities will be sent to me either today or tomorrow. I feel very positive about his desire to make ammends. I will let you know when they arrive.

Talbot

I am pleased to say that Brian just responded to my email and stated that he will be shipping a large quantity of books to me tomorrow or Wednesday.

I am encouraged by this. Perhaps it is the beginning of a new and positive pattern of behavior.

I will notify this forum when the books arrive.

Talbot

Thanks for all the orders. I'm glad these have been so popular! There are still some left but I doubt I could fill an order for 5000 now though.

Talbot

and another thirty-seven thousand (+) here!

For years people have been begging me to bring back my vervelles. However I just have not had the time. I always have sold them at very close to my actual cost in order to get more vervelles out there. That is why mine were so popular. I recently stumbled on an opportunity to get inexpensive vervell...

Talbot

I'm glad that's cleared up.

Sorry Talbot, I missed the February 24th date on the last email. In that case, I agree to disagree with me, too.

I went back and edited my earlier post to make the timeline more clear.

Talbot

Gerhard, While I take your point, I disagree. Given that his first response came mere hours after the initial email and the fact that the dozens of unanswered emails and phone calls is the exact pattern of behavior that prompted the disolution of our business relationship (as stated in my letter to ...

I just sent Brian the following email. I will let you know how he responds. Brian, In the “Sword in Two Hands” thread on the Armour Archive, you stated, "Regarding your armour bits, yes, I do acknowledge the debt for these." and later suggested, "With Talbot, Vitus, or any other indi...

What I don't understand is if this person was so bad, why did it take this many years to report it to the community? If it is true what everyone is saying hasn't the silence (for this long a time) served to aid and abeit this wrong doing to others? I have remained quiet because it is not in my natu...

Talbot

Brian,
All I can say is this. With these business practices one can be a successful business man. No ethics are required. However one cannot be a knight in this manner.

This is your renown. It is based on the seeds you have sown.

Talbot

However, I'd like to recommend anyone who has not been compensated adequately for their work to have a look at their contracts (if there is any). Assuming there is a violation, which it sounds like there is, it will be a very short trip to getting copyright returned and damages paid. I'm sure every...

Talbot

I guess it is my turn. I have been quiet about Brian's wrongdoings for a long time because I considered him to be a friend and could not believe that he was as thoroughly dishonest as people said. However I too have been the victim of Brian's dishonesty. Unfortunately this has happened to me more ti...

The reason I am looking at Bildindex is that the price for publicaton is reasonable. I have over 200 helmets cataloged. Most museums are charging over 100 dollars to publish one photo. You do the math

I need affordable high quality images.

Talbot

I have copies of pictures if it from the site. I just don't know how I found it. They have also "improved" the interface since I last used the site.

Talbot

I need help with bildindex. I am trying to secure some pictures for my book and am struggling with this site. m My German is fine for this purpose and I can also translate it with google when I get stumped but no matter how I try I cannot find armour in the German National Museum in Berlin. Can anyo...

I just added another to our line. This one is quite a departure for us. It is part of a new line we will be adding--Firearms related.
