Well...if that happens, you guys should use this one...to go along with my new name of "Paranoid Pete"...:D :D :D

Hey, how about a selection for Mitchel's Mausers??
Just kidding folks...Pappy

its covered under post WW2 ;)

Now 51 votes for those silly Simson lugers made by folks making bicycles and sewing machines...geeze...:D :D :D

Pete,

First - WELCOME TO THE LUGERFORUM!! :) I notice that this is your first post! We hope to see you here more often!

:cheers:

Second - it would appear that the server is a bit "haywire".. I've seen no fewer than 4 different Avatars for you today?? Everything from a "dancing spiderman" to a "monkey shaking head". Not sure what's up with that?? I'll check into it - be very sure I will... ;)

Now about Paranoid Pete in your profile... I was CERTAIN I saw that, too - as part of your title?? Should just be a temporary glitch...

And based on the poll - thank goodness I don't collect Simson Lugers. looks like a mighty competitive area of collecting... :)

Again - Welcome to the Forum!!!

John D.

Thanks for the warm welcome John.

BTW...I did have more than 4300 postings at one time.

I assume one of the Administrators is playing fun with my avatar...I only made one change after the "fun & games" you guys are having...the last avatar I added to my personal profile was the Swiss soldier standing next to his horse.

I have changed my avatar this past year every month or so...always with a Swiss theme.

BTW...I thought our personal profiles were just that...accessible only to the individual users ??? Knowing anyone with administrator access going in and changing it willy-nilly will tend to make me even more paranoid...;)

Hey Pete!

Well - not to pick-a-nit - I believe you may have had about 4756 posts ;) Yep - about the Avatars - looks like your monthly update was a bit haywire :)

Also - if you click on my name - you should see my "profile" - your's too!! I get to see all the stuff behind the "profile" though - just in case you turn into one of those hackers by post #3.. :cheers:

:D

Again - Welcome!!!

;)

Pete, except for changing posts, only ONE admin could change anything like that... But ole John must not have liked that I changed the 52 to 1 and made me competitive, which is good, cuz now my Simpson' :D are worth more, as there are more kollekteors

I thought the dancing spiderman was pretty cool btw ;)

Ed,

How about "correcting' the Simson votes...so it is more realistic.

Folks may not have confidence in the value of Polls with some "for fun" skewing...;)

I voted that I collect and shoot since I've not really decieded to focus just yet. I'm still in the "gotta have one of each" phase. :)

And there's no mention of Artillery Lugers either... :D

Sorry, Steve...I just assumed Artillery lugers in the Imperial group...but you are right...they should have been in a class by themselves as there were Weimar era LP-08's as well.

Maybe one of the LP-08 fans will be motivated to create a Poll just for Artillery lugers...maybe listing each choice by maker and year issued ?

It might be nice to have someone start a breakdown of the HK lugers as well.;)

I was just goshin' ya Pete. Just a simple yank of the leg is all... :)

It's interesting to see how many different ~basic~ areas of Luger collecting there are. You just don't get that with almost any other gun.

I suppose that's why we're all here though, huh... :D

Steve, to tell the truth and I am sure others, i selected more than one area.

I collect Weimar Police, but then branched into Simson's and now, have uh, several....


Ed

Polls seem to have a half-life of a bad fart in a closed-up room.

Bringing this Poll up to the top for others... if you want to join the voting...

I want to be able to shoot any Luger I own without fear of lowering its value. So, I guess that keeps me out of the high end pistols.

I would very much like to own a shooter with a 6-8 inch barrel. I find them very appealing. I'd like to have a Navy, but for now that's wishful thinking......

Still looking for Luger number two.....
