Roger,

Please don't thank me. Mr. Zaretzke is the one to thank for his generousity
of time and effort. I've never seen the R7 either and have spent some time
wondering where they engraved the R7's map.

That's how all of the six I've seen for sale in the US have been equiped
(equipt?). It's very unassuming as far as special edition M6's go. The map
is tastefully done, beautifully engraved and very not-garish. I really like
mine and I'm sorry to sell it but sometimes other things are more important
than pretty M6's that sit unused out of guilt and wishes.

Regards,
Danny Gonzalez
