      Well, they still don´t respond to phone. I eventually decided to send a fax. Let’s see if we are lucky! ;)

      Is there someone in the forum who lives in Barcelona? He/she could go to the address of the store….

              I put a new focus on this topic as we are still trying to figure out more about this 1989 vignette.

              Could Maenas or Erchamion try to join Juegos another time please? they are our only source of information… we can’t afford to loose it :(

                Gildor, wearing reason when you say they are our only hope to know something about this 1989 vignette. But believe me when I say that it is more difficult to contact them to find The Ring …. :rolleyes:

                It’s as if they did not want to be found …. :P😆

                I can only say that I will try from a distance (Granada is nearly 1000 km from Barcelona) with phone calls and faxes. I feel unable to give other news :/:(

                  If I am asking that it’s also because each time I am in contact with the Man… he is also inquiring about that… He is actually as curious about this figurine as I am myself.. He really wants to find out… I gave him the names to contact as Martin and Silvie were once friends of his… but he is too far apparently and the emails are not functionning that well with them…

                    I have a friend in Barcelona, I could ask him. What is the number and address?

                        I am trying to contact them, as I have visited the store many times almost (13 years ago) it was my favourite mithril store, because they have a full mithril collection displayed (and painted), and they got tons of metal miniatures from other enterprises. Last time I went there, they where not very happy at all, because Silvie’s mother died and Martin had his foot broken and the shop wasn’t goigng very well either. But that was at the begging of 2007 (I think).

                        I went there last week with elrond to take some pictures, but they weren’t open, maybe they are on holidays…

                          it seems the shop has closed definitively…which is sad… and removes all possibilities to have pictures of the 1989 vignette :( :(

                            Don’t be so pessimistic Master Gildor. By the way it is summer- and hollyday time in Spain too!
                            At least we have someone closer to it then we had before and maybe Maenas finds time in between to check it out again.
                            Always positiv thinking!

                                One year are 365 days. How many attemps to contact them have been made?
                                I’d say we hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed!:)

                                  has anybody an idea who the German distributor for Mithril was in the late eighties?

                                    Maybe that was ‘Laurin Verlag’ … but I’m not sure about this.

                                      Well, I have been phoning them every now and then at different hours and days but I haven’t got an answer, I have also written an email but it was returned with a server message that the email adress does not exist anymore.

                                      I am a bit afraid now. :(:(

                                      It seems that they have definetly closed, also they were the spanish distributors for mithril, but now on the mithril page the spanish distributor is empty. Maybe someone there know something about Martin and Silvie.

                                      I will continue with the phonecalls and the visits to the shop… maybe one day i will be luky enough.

                                        (i had written a dozen emails to them already… Chris himself did not have any news of Martin and Silvie…)

                                        the question is : if they have closed, where has their “museum” gone? the shop may have closed but martin and silvie may still be around here somewhere?… unless… a problem occured to them :( :( :(

                                          Wel I do not know, yesterday I was investigating on the net, and found anoter adress, I think it’s their home, maybe I will try to go there and see the postbox, if its there I will write them a letter.

                                          The thing is that the name of the shop is still there, also the two phone numbers are still operative, one of them with a message from Silvie telling the opening hours. Also the web is still online (not updated, but full operative).
                                          The last movements of mercantil books where on february last year. It doesn not say anywere that they have closed.

                                          Maybe they are with Mithrandir? :D Seriously now I will investigate more to see what really happened.

                                            The fact is that they always tell me that the miniatures in their shop were only a few part of the overall collection. Maybe something bad happened as you suggest.
