Welcome back @seuk. I am sorry to hear about Gary, though I did not know him. He made a wise and altruistic decision in passing on his collection intact before he passed.

Is/was the website I linked to above yours or his? Is it likely that it will ever be resurrected? It was a wonderful and powerful addition to our knowledge of counterfeit coins.

Yes, the Steppeulvene page was mine - It just got to expensive to continue with it. 
Gary thought that I should have it, since I worked out a useful system of separating the main groups.
I'm grateful that I got the chance to buy his collection and hope I can take the next step (which is a throughout study of the punches) later this year.

Do you want a new place for it? It's such a shame that the pics are not available on the internet archive. My hosting provider doesn't charge me at all for low volume websites. I have a couple of small hobby websites of my own and also host for others (e.g. my friend Steve's https://www.thefakepoundcoindatabase.co.uk).

There would be no charge of course!

Made a mistake in my previous post. 
Right after I got back to Denmark I send Gary a few pre-Geroge III counterfeit shillings, for which he thanked me in a mail about a week later - And that was the last time I heard from him. 
As I understand his collection or part of it will be auctioned later this year.

Well, sure - that would be great! 
I thought the Internet Archive had it all by now - but it's not of much use without pictures.

Great. Message me and we'll sort out the technicalities.
