    There is also a Hans-Hermann Weihrauch (Jr), HW managing director, so Martin was also right! But as far as I know the short HW is for Hermann Weihrauch... who was also a Hans (Sr)... confusing, should have bought a TX200 all these years ago

    Are you sure it's Andrei and not Mikhail?

    Avtomat Kalashnikov , the A doesn't refer to the first name.
