I thought that the average age of the members was somewhere in the archives or known by admin. I guess I could take a formal poll but that might be beyond my computer skills. I knew the average age of members was on the "mature" side because money to own multiple Lugers and judging by the expert posts given by so many members that kind of knowledge only comes from years of experience some years more than others. HerrKaiser seems to be the only age challenged member so far, a man his age to afford several Lugers he must be a chippendales dancer. I would shake my money maker if it meant more Lugers in the gun safe (if I had enough to shake) I really enjoyed the posts from the members and got a few laughs. I myself am 54 but like others mentally way younger and physically older sometimes way way older.
Thanks
Jim

Well the average appears to be just under 67 years.
I am about the median, not the mean, although I can be mean on occasions

Mac Cat 01-25-2021 03:52 PM

I guess I'm average !
1000011 in binary (67)

I wish it was as easy as having a money maker to shake. Instead I had a goal at age 12 to save up to get one. And through a decade of hard work and saving I was able to afford a few. Probably should have been content with the first 2, but man they’re addicting.

Recently turned 63. No aftermarket parts yet.

Way to go Joseph! Hope you have many happy and healthy repeats and keep on giving us youngsters something to shoot for. :)

65 and one month! Eric

Fla.Mallard 01-26-2021 03:52 PM

77 and enjoying the best occupation I've ever had .. retirement.

Eugen 01-27-2021 08:20 AM

Next month I'll be 69. :D

When I was 21, instead of the 4 inch "cannon" on my Luger, I wanted an artillery size. Now, I'd settle for a functional Russian captured, Weimer police rebarreled mix master that toggles snap caps.

luger_collector 01-27-2021 10:38 AM

64, and feel like 50 or less ...

tharpo 01-27-2021 03:15 PM

I'm average too at 67. Still working...

spacecoast 01-27-2021 03:41 PM

According to my wife or the calendar?

Almost threescore... original parts, but some hidden repairs and in need of a general refinishing. Bluing is getting thin in several spots.

Must have got ballistol in your eyes.

Hmm. If you rub your Tinder date with Ballistol first, it will feel like hugging your guns. :D

Unfortunately, most of the pretty ones were fake or robots. But in the end the prettiest one ended up being real and the one I am engaged to now. It all works out in the end.

Proofed 01-28-2021 10:27 AM

65 on the high side

If my date smelled like Ballistol, I'd puke.

Hoppes No 9 might do the trick

Pistol 01-28-2021 11:17 PM

Makes good aftershave

marshombre 01-29-2021 02:01 AM

I'll be 83 in June. There will be no party due to the China virus, but gifts are welcome--even encouraged.

Come on, Neil- you know the rules:
No party, No gifts. :evilgrin:

m1903a3 01-29-2021 03:47 PM

I'm gratified to once again be above average.

74 at the moment

Neil Young 01-29-2021 04:58 PM

There you go Don--bursting my bubble once again.

Lyn Islaub 02-05-2021 04:20 PM

76 and feeling every year of it. Had the second knee done in early December and it's taking some time to get over it. Did the first one 4 years ago and it was a walk in the park. When it comes to recovery, age matters.

We burried my Grandmother today at 94. She recounted the wars, depression. What a loss! Loved Rossevelt!

Sorry about your Grandmother. It is always hard to lose family and friends. Bill

A sure sign I'm getting old: The Browning Nomad I bought new while in college is now a Curio&Relic.

gunnertwo 02-14-2021 05:53 PM

Judging by those commenting, we are all "Curios and Relics".

I just call it "seniority". We earned it.
