I am sorry to say that Pionier went out of business sometime in the 70ies (or something like that). Sometimes I see a Pionier foldable here and I am fascinated by the good workmanship. As to Oskar Speck: The name was new to me. Maybe George Hartwig (LUISE_at_bigfoot.com) would be interested to hear some more news - and if anybody over here it is probably him who knows more. Maybe you contact him. Ulm seems to have a good reputation in sending paddlers around the world. Right now there is a couple from said city on its tour circumnavigating Europe. The link for their journey as far as I remember is www.ulm-outdoor.de cu Frank *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
