ahhhh, the big purge of 2017 – selling a big chuck of the porn collection before my move out of NYC. These images are from a special issue of MANDATE – MEN OF MANDATE (1981), featuring amazing photography by: COLT, Target, Roy Dean, Jurgen Vollmer, Roy Blakey, Man’s Image, Lobo,and Malcolm Hoare
wonder how often I post pics from MANDATE? And yes, we still haven’t figure out the identity of the model above

I was going to ask about #1. Damn, he’s sexy. If he’s alive, I wonder what he looks like today. Something I frequently think of when seeing these vintage shots.
well, click through and see if you can figure out his name – even nom de porn will do!
Still stumped, as are all the others. Maybe we’ll never know. Thanks
Hi,
yes I’m very much alive, and living in SF.
well HELLO and welcome to BJland! anything else you want to add? we love your photos!
Had model #1 confused with Target model Ben Chapin (Michel Guillot) for quite a while. I was never comfortable with the ID but thought maybe he was trying out a different look.
Later, I found a photospread “TEUTON!”, photos by Malcolm Hoare, Mandate, March 1980, page 53ff with at least 4 black and white photos of model #1 who was unnamed but who GEA (Gay Erotic Archives) identifies as “Klaus.” Color photos from what is clearly the same photoshoot appeared in Blueboy, August 1983, pages 16ff (“Decked Out”). The photographer credited is Phil Flasche, who, I am certain, is identical with Malcolm Hoare. (Neither Blueboy nor GEA identifies the 1983 model.)
I suspect “Klaus” only did two photoshoots, both in 1979 (his photos with Ron Cameron were published in Zipper, February 1980, and look West Coast summer) and other in 1979 which look Fire Island or Provincetown and which were published over 4 years (1980-1983).
Well, damn! That’s giving us a lot more than we had, or more than I had at least, including a name. Well done!
