- Just fantastic Review by Kendall
I had a 40 regular shipped out and tried it on. It was a bit too tight across the shoulders (I am 168lb, 35" waist, runner build) and I compared all the basic dimensions with another leather motorcycle jacket that is a very nice fit. Then I shipped the "loaner" back with a sketch showing where to make alterations.
The replacement jacket in the darker vintage russet horsehide was completed only two days after my loaner arrived at FlightJacket.
It arrived here two days ago and is fantastic. I now take greater notice of the A-2's that I see other people wearing and they are just pathetic by comparison.
Breaking it in now. Wonder how long it will keep that "new jacket smell" ..... almost as good as a new car!
I had an inside pocket added, but nothing else, so it looks absolutely authentic. Not cheap, but it's true what they say: " you get what you pay for". This one is a keeper!

- I received yeasterday my A2 Custom black horsehide jacket (with custom pockets inside, and handwarmer pockets). She's wonderfull. Fantastic work. Thank you very much (Posted on 8/9/12)
- G1 Review by DJP
Purchased it about a year plus ago. Very nicely made jacket. Very high quality. Excellent fit, warm. I bought a 42 regular. It fits me well, 35" waist 5 10, but I better not go above 186lbs or it's gonna be tight across the shoulders. Good incentive for me to keep in shape. You can wear it in very cold weather with a turtlenext. Wore it a lot and it is as nice as the day I bought it.

- My friend has his granddads jacket and side by side just the same thank you very much I'm very proud of my bit of new history thank you good job boys. (Posted on 1/20/11)
- Exactly what I was looking for. Review by William
I have always admired real leather jackets. Especially from TV and movies, like Hogan's Heroes, Happy days, Indiana Jones, etc... however every time I looked in the stores I was disappointed in either styling, fit, quality, origin, etc of the "off the shelf" selection.
Well this jacket is like those from films. Gorgeous work, solid like armor, great fit, quality workmanship, and made right here in the USA, so I am helping employee craftsmen right here at home instead of buying Chinese made junk.
I hated to return the standard jacket to get custom work done but when the custom jacket arrived I could not believe how quickly it came back and what beautiful work they had done..
If you have any doubts of this jacket is worth the risk ordering online, cost etc... don't have. You will not be disappointed!
(Posted on 12/26/10) - Fits perfectly Review by Brad Enay (December 2007)
- I'm 6'6" and 250 lbs. As you can imagine, I can't wear an "off the rack" item. I tried on the 48L that was sent to me and with just a couple of minor changes, have an A-2 with custom artwork that fits perfectly and draws compliments every time I wear it.(Which is daily.) (Posted on 8/2/10)
- Excellent quality and service Review by Todd Brewer (June 2007)
- I just wanted to say thanks for the excellant quality and service that I've received from US Authentics. I ordered a custom A-2 (Little Demon) last summer. The artwork and craftsmanship were unbelieveable! I also sent in a vintage Willis & Geiger A-2 for repair....again fantastic work & super fast turnaround time! I recommend US Authentics to anyone! Thanks again! Todd Brewer (Posted on 8/2/10)
- Everything I thought it would be Review by Tony Lustre (February 2007)
Just want to let you know that I received the jacket last Monday. I was very excited to open it. It was everything I thought it would be. The fit and finish was awesome. With the thinsulate insulation, I can now wear it (with a sweater underneath) during the colder winter weather. The inside chest pockets were also very nice, specially the leather trims. Your people do good work. And the turnaround time was as promised (2 weeks for custom work).
Having this wonderful A-2 jacket now makes me want a G-1. Goatskin instead of horsehide this time around. That would make for a nice christmas present for myself :)
Regards and thanks.
(Posted on 7/23/10) - Outstanding, beautiful job! Review by John McCarthy (January 2007)
Got the finished jacket and it is beautiful!!!!
You did an outstanding job with the art work and all. I am very excited to wear it and send photos of it to Many WWII 301st members.
This is a great way to pay honor to my Dad as well as all WWII airmen.
Thanks again.
(Posted on 7/23/10) - Perfect custom nose art Review by Ron Witt (December 2006)
I wanted to let you know that my A-2 custom nose art jacket just arrived. The A-2 Horsehide Russet jacket is of the highest quality, and the Memphis Belle custom nose art and Bomb Group/Squadron patches are exactly what I had requested. Excellent Job!
I'll be back for another one next year.
Happy Holidays to you.

I hope they at least confiscated his passport so he can't leave the country.
- dee123 said...
South Africa doesn't use a jury system. Didn't we go through this before. Or is today a different person doing the postings?
- Nicola Kirsty said...
Again with the jury! South Africa abolished the jury system in the 1930s.
It. Will. Be. Decided. By. A. Judge. - 6:49 AM
- phoenix said...
@Audrey, I don't know if that happened, but I did hear the magistrate mention that Oscar has several which he offered to turn in should he be granted bail.
- Henriette said...
There is no jury! Geez! I'm so sick of the American legal pundits talking out of their a$$es about a judicial system they know very little about.
From all I've heard and read about this case, South Africa's got a real kangaroo court system. The lead prosecutor is accused of shooting seven people and the judge didn't know! - 6:52 AM
- Cathy said...
@Audrey - when I was reading your comment, at first I thought it said, "I hope they at least confiscated his prosthetics so he can't leave the country."
- Nicola Kirsty said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- Lulu G said...
They just said on NPR that one of the conditions of bail was confiscation of his passport. I hope too that he is ostracized. I feel so badly for her family.
- Agent**It said...
Enty JR, get it straight about the lack of a jury system in SA, you are flunking big time.
- Pogue Mahone said...
Even if they took his passport with his money and his wealthy family I bet he'll still take off. He can easily buy a fake passport and hire a private jet and just leave the country, likely never to be heard from again. When you have money you can get away with anything.
- Nicola Kirsty said...
From The Guardian newspaper.
Bail is actually 1m rand: 100,000 as a cash amount and 900,000 as a guarantee and surety.
Upon payment of the 100,000 rand he must be released with the following conditions:
• He appears in court on 4 June at 8.30am.
• He surrenders all passports.
• He refrains from applying for any passports.
• He refrains from entering any airport.
• He surrenders all firearms.
• He refrains from possessing any firearms.
• He refrains from talking to any witnesses for the prosecution.
• He will have a probation officer and correctional official from the date of release until the conclusion of the case.
• He shall inform the official all his movements and ask for permission for any journeys outside Pretoria.
• He shall give them a phone number and must be contactable day and night.
• He must not be charged with an offence of violence against women.
• He must not use drugs or alcohol.
• He must not return to his home and not make contact with any residents of his estate except the Stander family.
1m rand is £73,750. - 6:59 AM
- hunter said...
Dee123, yes pretty sure we covered the "no jury" last time. What the hell Enty?!? There is NO JURY.
- __-__=__ said...
I read somewhere she was pregnant. Has this been confirmed? War against women all over the world, with men in power protecting killers.
- Renoblondee said...
Personally I'm more upset about the murder of this woman than Enty saying "jury". Jesus.
- Brandy said...
He'll break that no alcohol rule.
- Jessi said...
Right?! @renoblondee
Ok, so maybe he didn't read the comments of the last thread. Jesus people settle the F down!
- urban chaos said...
I highly doubt Oscar will flee given that we all see it as a given he will either be given a much lesser sentence (slap on wrist) or be found not guilty.
- Kerrimoo said...
Jeez, the 'pregnancy' rumour was in the National Enquirer - probably alongside some alien landing story.It is BS. SA is on the whole relieved he made bail - it'snot that we're necessaryilt on his side per se, I think we genuinely believe his story - innocent until proven guilty and all that. I need a huge glass of wine after that 2-odd hour session by Nair. Oh look, I already have one!
- cheese toast said...
If someone murdered my child and I thought justice would not be served, I would take matters into my own hands. I would kill my child's killer. And it sounds like SA would be just the place to do it and get away with it.
- SashaJames2 said...
I am glad he was granted bail. He had no reason to kill her intentionally and destroy his life by ending hers. Even her parents haven't said anything nasty about him and from all accounts they had a good and loving relationship albeit short. It's sad he has already been found guilty in the press before the trial.
- trudi said...
Now that his guns will be taken away, how will he defend himself against the potential intruders that were keeping him up at night?
- JSierra said...
Well folks, if you ever need to off someone, just take them on a nice vacay to SA. You don't even have to sit in jail a week, what a good deal!
And lets not pretend that well all believe Enty sits on the couch and hungrily reads every comment on every post every single day. I don't even do that. - 7:47 AM
- Vita19a said...
That judge was scathing on the prosecution and lead investigator. It seems that they had to concede on every point of Pistorius' affidavit. I guess they are used to doing a poor job when the accused is Joe Schmo.
- cheese toast said...
I'm really pissed at my husband, we've been screaming at each other for hrs... oh hold up, I hear an intruder - he's taking a shower in my master bath!! Let me get my pistol..
- trudi said...
Last night on TV it was mentioned that only 10% of SA murder cases end in a guilty verdict.
- Kerrimoo said...
@Trudi - that's because most murders are unsolved, often not even really investigated. And forensics? What a joke. People who live on farms are being slaughtered. People who live in so-called 'squatter camps' (informal settlements or shanty towns) are being slaughtered. Too much trouble for the cops to investigate and solve these crimes. Sadly. Apparently the state's forensic lab has a backlog of YEARS. Sorry to say, but I imagine it's rather easy to murder someone and get away with it.
- Noetje said...
I'm not convinced he's guilty of murdering her. I think there might be a chance he killed her by accident and if that is true I wouldn't want him to go to jail.
And honestly... if gun violence in SA is as bad as I've read I can't blame someone without legs (who can't just make a run for it) for shooting without checking first. It seems like a kill or be killed country. - 8:02 AM
- Lelaina Pierce said...
Not at all shocking. With the exception of the jury thing, I think Enty is correct.
- greenmountaingal said...
Maybe if they took away his legs he wouldn't be a flight risk...
Ok that was below the belt, but still. - 8:09 AM
- SusanB said...
I told you guys before - the fix is in. The right people have been paid off.
Agree with Pogue - anyone can get a fake passport. I've seen him wearing prostheses that look like legs, he can just wear them, grow a beard, some hair and get that fake passport - he'll get away. - 8:37 AM
- g.strathmore said...
National Enquirer broke the John Edwards affair/secret baby story way before the legitimate newspapers, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them out of hand. Respect! :)
- jax said...
this is a gossip BLOG, not a NEWS OUTLET FFS.
what renoblondie said...jesus. - 8:49 AM
- Agent**It said...
Then tell Enty Jr not to post about NEWS STORIES and to stick to gossip.
- Megan said...
First time commenter here. This comment made me snort water out of my nose. At work. On my computer screen. Can I go home now? But thank you so much for the laugh.
- Megan said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- Lola said...
Enty stopped reading the comments years ago.
The judge brought up a couple of excellent points :
With his prosthetics, it would be virtually impossible to get on a plane without all sorts of alarms being set off when he went through security.
If he was faking the intruder story, why didn't he stage a bogus break in? The prosecution conceded that was a problem for them.
Mind you, those were points made by the judge, not the defense.
Apparently, the prosecution was unable to refute a single point of the defense's motion.
Something to think about before you all decide, with no evidence yet, that he was a woman beating bastard who murdered his girlfriend in cold blood, despite how sensationalized the papers are trying to make it.
As I said the other day, I hope many of you never serve on a jury. - 9:16 AM
- Ruby Soho said...
- Taracu said...
Who cares? All this bishing about grammar and now the word jury. We know what he meant. He's no Ted C, where I would get headaches and have to read the blinds 4 times. - 9:22 AM
- Sherry said...
I was about to say I doubt Enty even read the "no jury" part of our comments but someone beat me to it.
- FrenchGirl said...
1/ until now, the prosecutor CAN'T prove the premeditation and he will lose if he want to keep it: in best he can prove the voluntary manslaughter if he has the clues that OP knew he shooted on his girlfriend and in worst,he can prove the negligent homicide
2/THERE IS NO JURY in SOUTH AFRICA: it's a judge who decides
@Lola @Nicola Kirsty:
thank you
- Mango said...
If you want to address a comment to Enty, email him. AFAIK, he doesn't read the blog.
if gun violence in SA is as bad as I've read I can't blame someone without legs (who can't just make a run for it) for shooting without checking first.
@ Noetje - "Can't just make a run for it?" Are you being facetious? You DO know that Oscar Pistorius is a professional runner, right? - 9:40 AM
- Agent**It said...
Lola, the writer who does these "news" posts and does read the comments on their little posts. Not the brightest bulb in Entyland.
It will be interesting to see what evidence is presented if this goes to trial.What a shitty job the police did at the murder scene.I wonder if they will drop the charge from premed to manslaughter and what that would mean under SA law. - 9:42 AM
- Agent**It said...
The best way to contact EL would be to tweet or post directly on FB page.
- Nope said...
This case makes me sick to my stomach. It's almost too painful to read. As one who can well recall locking myself in my ex's bathroom to hide from him, sitting on the cold tile floor for hours shaking and saying out loud to myself over and over that it will be OK...My heart aches for her in her final moments. It is so, so hard to get off the vicious merry-go-round of an abusive relationship, but it's sobering, devastating, and so, so important for women to see what can happen if they don't. I'm so sorry she died. I hope it convinces at least one woman to walk away before she's next, no matter how frightening it can be to take that step.
- Jazzy said...
I hope he is found guilty and is left to rot in jail. If he isn't, he's finished anyway. His life, as he knew it, is over. The sponsors won't be able to associate with him on a global scale because everyone knows he's guilty. My question is, if his trial takes years to happen, doesn't that mean he can't travel to run in the Olympic qualifing races?
- phoenix said...
@Jazzy, that's how it should be but this is S Africa we're talking about and he's their whack job national super hero so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
- JSierra said...
Noetje he had on his blades when he shot her, he didn't shoot blindly from his bedside hoping to hit the intruder. He strapped on his legs and shot her.
- Li said...
For those that haven't read Oscar's full statement, I thought it would be helpful to have it here.
If you want to compare his statement to his floor plan. Here's the floor plan.
Floor plan:
On the 13th of February 2013 Reeva would have gone out with her friends and I with my friends. Reeva then called me and asked that we rather spend the evening at home. I agreed and we were content to have a quiet dinner together at home. By about 22h00 on 13 February 2013 we were in our bedroom. She was doing her yoga exercises and I was in bed watching television. My prosthetic legs were off. We were deeply in love and I could not be happier. I know she felt the same way. She had given me a present for Valentine's Day but asked me only to open it the next day.
"After Reeva finished her yoga exercises she got into bed and we both fell asleep. I am acutely aware of violent crime being committed by intruders entering homes with a view to commit crime, including violent crime. I have received death threats before. I have also been a victim of violence and of burglaries before. For that reason I kept my firearm, a 9mm Parabellum, underneath my bed when I went to bed at night.
"During the early morning hours of 14 February 2013, I woke up, went onto the balcony to bring the fan in and closed the sliding doors, the blinds and the curtains. I heard a noise in the bathroom and realised that someone was in the bathroom.
"I felt a sense of terror rushing over me. There are no burglar bars across the bathroom window and I knew that contractors who worked at my house had left the ladders outside. Although I did not have my prosthetic legs on I have mobility on my stumps. I believed that someone had entered my house. I was too scared to switch a light on"
See next post for rest of his statement. - 10:53 AM
- Li said...
Rest of his statement...
"I grabbed my 9mm pistol from underneath my bed. On my way to the bathroom I screamed words to the effect for him/them to get out of my house and for Reeva to phone the police. It was pitch dark in the bedroom and I thought Reeva was in bed.
"I noticed that the bathroom window was open. I realised that the intruder/s was/were in the toilet because the toilet door was closed and I did not see anyone in the bathroom. I heard movement inside the toilet. The toilet is inside the bathroom and has a separate door.
"It filled me with horror and fear of an intruder or intruders being inside the toilet. I thought he or they must have entered through the unprotected window. As I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable, I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself. I believed that when the intruder/s came out of the toilet we would be in grave danger. I felt trapped as my bedroom door was locked and I have limited mobility on my stumps.
"I fired shots at the toilet door and shouted to Reeva to phone the police. She did not respond and I moved backwards out of the bathroom, keeping my eyes on the bathroom entrance. Everything was pitch dark in the bedroom and I was still too scared to switch on a light. Reeva was not responding. When I reached the bed, I realised that Reeva was not in bed. That is when it dawned on me that it could have been Reeva who was in the toilet. I returned to the bathroom calling her name. I tried to open the toilet door but it was locked. I rushed back into the bedroom and opened the sliding door exiting onto the balcony and screamed for help.
"I put on my prosthetic legs, ran back to the bathroom and tried to kick the toilet door open. I think I must then have turned on the lights. I went back into the bedroom and grabbed my cricket bat to bash open the toilet door. A panel or panels broke off and I found the key on the floor and unlocked and opened the door. Reeva was slumped over but alive.
"I battled to get her out of the toilet and pulled her into the bathroom. I phoned Johan Stander ("Stander") who was involved in the administration of the estate and asked him to phone the ambulance. I phoned Netcare and asked for help. I went downstairs to open the front door. I returned to the bathroom and picked Reeva up as I had been told not to wait for the paramedics, but to take her to hospital. I carried her downstairs in order to take her to the hospital. On my way down Stander arrived. A doctor who lives in the complex also arrived. Downstairs, I tried to render the assistance to Reeva that I could, but she died in my arms.
"I am absolutely mortified by the events and the devastating loss of my beloved Reeva. With the benefit of hindsight I believe that Reeva went to the toilet when I went out on the balcony to bring the fan in. I cannot bear to think of the suffering I have caused her and her family, knowing how much she was loved. I also know that the events of that tragic night were as I have described them and that in due course I have no doubt the police and expert investigators will bear this out." - 10:54 AM

Ok, if he screamed for her to call the police wouldn't she have yelled back "it's me in the bathroom (you paranoid moron?)"
2. Who locks the door when you use the bathroom in the middle of the night when you're in a relationship? Unless you're afraid of the other person.
I call BS. He killed her on purpose. - 11:06 AM

Thank you Li for taking the time to post that.
The bathroom/toilet were pretty far from the bed for him to just use his stumps rather then putting on his legs. It is a shame the crime scene is worthless since they walking all over it. - 11:11 AM
- just curious said...
I agree with others about having a Chris Brown-free month but more like a Chris Brown free blog. No more posts about Brown on this blog at all.
There's enough white fuckery within this week alone to ignore Chris Brown and his indiscretion.
Between the Bladerunner,Alec Baldwin,Brolin and Peterson and their public abuse against females,who has time to focus on Chris.
No more Chris Brown posts becoz y'all don't deserve it. - 11:42 AM

If I had any doubts before, they are all gone after reading his official statement. - 12:42 PM
- SingBlue said...
As I posted, well, posts ago, over the premeditation debate, the simple fact his first two calls were to legal advisers/family screams premeditation. By the definition of law.
But tink tink is gonna walk. The most beautiful country I've ever been to is still woefully corrupt. Sad all round. - 1:14 PM
- caralw said...
Ummm. He's worried about a window not having burglar bars yet sleeps with the balcony door open?
He locked the bedroom door after leaving it?
He yelled for her to call the police and she didn't respond it was her?
He was afraid to turn on a light but not afraid to shout for her to call the police?
Not buying his story. - 2:20 PM
- T Lex said...
She was shot in the hip through her shorts -- while using the toilet?
She didn't call out with the first shot -- or at all? - 5:28 PM

@ Nope, my sister recalled the same scene in her ex's bathroom. Most intelligent post here so far.
- Goodnight said...
To be fair, there is a backlog of years for forensics in many countries, including the US. Most people don't understand how long results take even when they're rushed. A non-priotiy DNA test can take literally a year or more to come back depending on what country you're from. Toxicology typically takes 6-8 weeks in the US where there are tons of labs so I imagine in countries where there are fewer labs it takes even longer. - 4:53 AM

It is sometimes the fate of works that are advanced for their time to be damned by later generations for not being radical enough. From the standpoint of Schumann's time, the Chamisso cycle should be recognised and saluted as a remarkably forward-looking work, written by a man with an impeccable, and almost modern, attitude to human rights – indeed a man who supported the concept of female emancipation. On the work's publication in 1831 (soon after the revolution in Paris which swept away the Bourbon monarchy and promised equality for all) the poet was greeted as the champion of women, and the work went into seventeen editions in as many years. Against the fashions of the time, Chamisso gave the role of the narrator to the woman, and she speaks for herself, in her own voice, from the beginning. She has the right to describe her feelings and, as shy as she is, she tells us why she finds the man attractive in the second song – his lips and eyes are as delectable as his gentle nature. In the sixth song she has already taken over the reins of household management, and announces her pregnancy to the astounded husband who hears the news very much on her terms. In the next song she pities men for not being able to know the joys of motherhood – suckling the child is openly mentioned, and celebrated, which was far from usual for the time. By the time she reaches the final song (in Schumann's cycle) she has developed into a formidable personality, capable of dealing with her bereavement in a way that convincingly includes anger as part of the range of emotions. In Chamisso's closing poem (not set by Schumann, but here read by Juliane Banse) it is clear that the mother has brought up her daughter successfully without compromising her integrity and her belief in the power of love. It is little wonder that the work was a wild success with its women readers, and that Chamisso was proud enough of his cycle of poems to place it at the head of his collected works.
All of this still leaves open the question as to why the protagonist should be so tentative in the beginning, so star-struck and servile. And the answer here makes Chamisso's achievement even more remarkable, because he is writing about that most difficult of relationships in nineteenth-century life, a love affair across the class- and wealth barriers. This is not a courtship of equals taken from the pages of a Jane Austen novel where the heroine is able to answer her suitors back with healthy aplomb. Instead we have a girl who refers to herself as lowly not because of her sex, but because the object of her affection appears to be completely out of her reach in terms of his social position. She is even prepared selflessly to bless, in the second song, the woman of higher birth who will make him a suitable wife. It seems inevitable that she should suffer with a broken heart while watching him build a life with someone from his own background.
Stefan Zweig in Die Welt von gestern describes how the Viennese rich imported domestic staff from country villages to provide sexual partners safe from disease for their sons. One feels that the abandoned maidservant in the famous Mörike poem Das verlassene Mägdlein is probably pregnant by the son of her employer. When Chamisso's heroine refers to herself as a 'Magd' she could be referring to herself as a maidservant, below stairs, and within the same house as the object of her adoration. The first song suggests that she sees him daily, as if in a waking dream, which would fit the scenario of a domestic servant's relationship with the son of the house. When she looks back on her former life in the fourth song (Du Ring an meinem Finger) she seems to have much in common with the poor governess Jane Eyre: 'Alone I found myself in boundless desolation', she says. It was common enough for the poor to be the sexual playthings of the rich, but marriage was another matter. It is for this reason that our heroine can scarcely believe that he has chosen her as a bride, and that she claims that he has elevated and blessed here with his love. This does not refer to the elevation of a poor woman, per se, but to the triumph of love when a well-born young man insists on disregarding the social convention whereby he is allowed a mistress from the working-class, but not a wife. We are not told the social consequences of this marriage – we certainly hear nothing of his family. It is possible that he has been disinherited. This may account for the reference to her relatives (and not his) at the wedding (the fifth song), to the powerful sense of intimacy and emotional fragility on his part in the sixth, and to the feeling of her utter loneliness in the final song when she seems unsupported by anyone else on her husband's death. Chamisso defied convention all his life, and it would make sense, in the context of his own sympathy for working-class characters (his poems are full of them) that this couple had done the same.
On the other hand one must beware of apologising for the different significance of marriage in another century. There is no doubt that the concept of duty and obedience to her husband would have been a natural part of Clara Wieck's thinking, and also what Schumann would have expected as head of the house. The work was written in the same month as he made a down payment on a flat for his bride-to-be, and in the greatest expectation of the cosy marital bliss that is to be found depicted on some of these pages, a song cycle which takes place in the unique milieu of living-room and bedroom. Woven into this dream of cosy normality, however, we have fragments of Schumann's own past which also played their part in his sympathy with the poems. Nine years older than Clara, the composer had already had his share of romantic adventures. In 1831 in Leipzig (as it happened, in the same year and town of these poems' publication) Schumann had had an affair with a girl, poor and illiterate, who revered him and whose attitude to him could not have been far from the sentiments expressed in this cycle's opening songs. He did not marry her, but perhaps, if he had resembled Chamisso's wordless suitor and husband, he might have done so. The name of 'Christel' features fleetingly in Schumann's diaries, but her ghost hovers through these pages side-by-side with the dominating presence who was the source of inspiration for so much music, the indomitable, the extraordinary, the far from servile Clara Wieck. It should also be noted that Schumann was not the first to set this cycle. That honour belonged to Carl Loewe in 1836.
