Gentlemens:

Herr Ern and his wife and son were are the Guild show in Reno last month, and I exchanged a few pleasantries with them at my table. I did not know who they were, but it was obvious they were closely examining the work and knew what they were looking at. Sure seemed to be genuinely nice folks. It was only later that I was told who they were. Max Ern is considered by some to be the finest gunmaker in the world.

The son did make an impression on me. I would guess he is in his late twenties, but I am bad at guessing ages. In any event, the young man was very intense and studied the work carefully without a word or expression. With that sort of fire and Max Ern for a mentor it would seem there will be fine work coming out of that family for at least one more generation.
