French translation

[Paul C]

I am not sure where else to post this. I group on the forum has always been the most helpful. I received this email and need a translation from French. Thanks for the help.

bonsoir,

un des collectionneurs de coiffures militaires allemandes que je connais m'a fait parvenir des photos de votre ensemble du 15?me uhlan...je serai peut ?tre int?ress? par le sabre...quel serait votre prix pour le vendre ? part...

merci de votre r?ponse

A rough translation would be that he is interested in the sword from your 15th Uhlan uniform set and wants to know your price on it.

Refards,

Paul,

In short, what Mark says is correct and kind of resumes the essential.

Anyway, a more complete translation just for the context, would be:

"good evening,

a guy I know who collects german headgear sent me pictures of your group of the 15th uhlan... I would be maybe interested by the sword... for how much would you sell it alone...

thanks for your reply"

Hope it helps,

Dolf

Salut Christophe,

Wouldn't expect nothing less than perfect for a guy who studied French for some 10 years, lived in France for some 5 years, has a translation certificate (well, Portuguese-French and French-Portuguese, so no English involved but still ) and teached French for some 24 years

It's my English who is still a bit rusty and lacking of vocabulary, even thought I read most of the time books in english and try to practice on this and other Forums

Best wishes,

Dolf
