He wonders why he doesn't give so much as the rear end of a rat whether the parts of his M6 were manufactured by the gnomes of Solms, or a gaggle of 97-year-old blind women in Turkistan. All Dr. Blacktape cares about is whether the finished product meets Leicas standards and can take the aging and abuse for which Leicas have long been famous. If it can, then Solms Schmolms!
