Not much information yet on his website but some of our German members may have more information.

Thanks Jens!

Please do keep us updated about what you hear from Herr Joachim. And, of course, I know that you are always happy to share pictures of your guns with us. We do have a treat in store in the future!

Very good hunting, my friend!

Hallo Mehul..

I haven`t heard anything yet...but I must also confess here, that with the exception of few...The germans really don`t understand the meaning of a reply to an e-mail, and actually sometimes refuse to answer at all. It is not that they are unfriendly, they simply just don`t have yet in their culture, + for 99& of them don`t know english aswell.
I will e-mail Herr Joachim one more time.

Copy of last e-mail:

Hallo Rudolf.

I read on the internet you have plans on making the classic Farquaharson action. Is that right?

Funny, they are about 10-15 years after the rest of europe regarding the web. You only have too look at their homepages.

Jens,

Thanks, my friend.

Somehow, I do think that the Germans lose a lot of business because of their allergy to the internet. Sad, actually . . .

A few years ago, Searcy made a Farq copy and showed his prototype at SCI. Nobody ordered one so he cancelled the project.

There have been quite a few original Farqs on the market recently for under $10K.
IMO, that right there is the problem with a new production Farquharson - I think it would be hard to approach the fit, finish and overall quality of an original for less than $20K.
Not too many folks lining up for that I would think...
