How About Some SOS Reports.

Here goes George.
The great thing about the SOS is that one gets to meet in person all those "virtual friends" one makes on the forums. In my case I got to apologize to all the people I insulted in the previous year. George always arranges for a comfortable room in the hotel where we can meet up at the end of the day for a few drinks and a show and tell. This year we were privileged to see not one, but two absolutely pristine 1904 Navy Lugers. To understand how rare and desirable these guns are, the most recent one to go up for auction fetched over $135,000.00!
Louisville is located in the heart of the Bourbon belt and I drank my share, maybe more than my share. Fortunately my room was just down the hall so I made it back safely.

I was also at the show and as usual had one heck of a good time. I really enjoyed seeing the two 04 Navy Lugers, realizing it was an opportunity of a lifetime to see such rare items together and in such beautiful condition. George's hospitality was the usual first rate accommodation and to be together with Forum friends was especially nice. George sold me some stuff he has set aside for me and so I spent more than I should have, but it was well worth it as I filled some holes in my small collection. A fantastic week, for sure, in all respects.
