I can't believe it, but the catalog is here already. The seller shipped it FedEx Priortiy at his own expense, it left Paris yesterday morning and today at noon I am looking at it.
Since we occasionally recommend good Ebay sellers here, let me take this opportunity to do so... a gentleman in France named Lorenzo (Ebay handle, "rocvale"), is friendly, speaks good English, and is a pleasure to deal with.
At the moment he has several nice items up for auction, among them four very nice Ideale saddles.
