A very sad story

Hi Richie,

It was probably the Glastonbury Show, always one of the best shows in the east. I can't find any of my old Bought/Sold files, probably in the attic. It was at that show that I sold the Fat Barrel, the 1906 .30 cal, a Mauser Banner Police and the Navy. Was it a complete rig, holster, stock? Mine was, but he may have sold just the pistol. Gee, that's really too bad your guns got stolen. I lost a half dozen in a housebreak in early 1980 but no Lugers, thank the Lord. I used to keep a few pistols in my bureau drawer so that if anyone found them they wouldn't look any further, figured they got them all. Worst scenario though, a Colt .22 Officer's Model Match that was taken was used in a murder in Boston. I never got it back, the judge in the case was a Colt collector.

Bernie was the best, a true gentleman. I was shocked when it happened.

What's your interest now, just Lugers? What type?

Talk to you later,

Jerry
