GunShow Observations

Here in Michigan there is a weekly newspaper called the "Auction News". It covers auctions throughout Michigan, and Northern Ohio and Indiana. Once, I hit on an excellent 1900 AE with Ideal stock, grips and holster. I paid $1600 and everybody told me to cancel the newspaper because I could never match that bargain again. I never cancelled that newspaper and I have three leads on some Lugers thanks to the last issue. My advice is to attend these little dinky shows. You only have to succeed once to be sucessful. You just never know when or where you will pick up something interesting. Of course, you have to be a big mouthed, friendly, outward sort of guy like me and be able to strike up a conversation with just about about anybody. People who have read my posts or emailed me know that I am a hard guy to shut up. I have been criticised a lot about my technique, but I have a fine collection of Lugers. So let them criticise.
