Paul C Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Werner, Nice post and I remember Tony fondly. I was get getting to know him when he took ill. I first meet him in Gunzenhausen around 2001 when a group of us went to an Italian resturant in Gunzenhausen. Maybe you were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I never knew him, but do have a couple of his spanges in my collection, so I know he had excellent taste in medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) He was a true Gentleman. I only knew him via cyberspace, but he certainly enjoyed chatting about imperial items. He would have loved the GMIC.All three of those bars are just stunning. You are a very lucky man to have them (esp. the 2nd one-WOW!!).RIP Mr. Colson and thanks for all you did .

Beau Newman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tony was always a pleasure to be around and has been sorely missed at the shows and conventions. Guys like Tony, as well as Neal O'Connor, George Seymour and Eric Ludvigsen always made it worth the trip even when the hunting wasn't so good.One of Tony's groups - by way of Phil Mitchell.

Klotzke Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hello, almost ten years ago I came into touch with Tony Colson. Because he wanted to write an essay about a German colonel named Anders who fought at Tsingtao 1914 and was imprisoned into a Japanese POW-camp. Does anybody know if Tony has accomplised this work?
