To me,....they are an artform.

Ever since I remember, I was fascinated with precission made mechanical things. So I started amassing two products that embodied the "mechanical precission" in my mind. High end mechanical watches, and firearms. Both have a lot in common. Aside that both are made out of precission machined metal, with extremelly close tollerances,.... performance of the both is also described as "accuracy"! Also,.....one measures the passage of the human "time" to precission, and one efectively stops it!

For me,.....Parabellum P08 is as much the work of art, as is 1665 Rolex Comex Seadweller (which I also own, among MANY others).

Somehow, I think I'm doomed,.......this Erfurt WILL NOT be my only P08!
