Nice job on the blog, Chris. Photos are excellent. I'm jealous.
Man for some reason I keep looking at that jaeger and wondering if it's a imm. Long=tailed Jaeger. The reason I say that is because the other primary shaft is white and it looks like white shaft goes all along the outer edge.
Just something to think about.
