John, I saw on the NAPCA forum about a listing, but it looked a bit different from this. That the guns were being sold by a dealer in MA. If this is a different "stealing", I suggest folks be extra careful the next couple of months, both as a buyer and as a seller...

**the fear of every collector...

Ed or John D.,

You probably ought to 'sticky' this...

done, thanks, ed

Ed,

These are all entered into NCIC as stolen ?

James, I am sure, sounds like some nice things stolen. A shame, I hate thieves.

Ed

Insurance
 

Has The Forum ever investigated "Group" insurance for members to subscribe?

The NRA offers nice insurance for members.

But the NRA insurance can be expensive.

I use an outside insurance "collectors Insurance" I think it is, they are about $100 a year for each $25k. NRA is too expensive I think...


Ed

Ed I have my insurance with collectors also. I wonder if they would give a group discount? I wonder how many members would be interested? Bill

I have my insurannce thru Rielly Insurance Group Inc. in Pembroke, MA. The rates are similar to Collector's Insurance.

I was with Rielly for two years and it covers weapons, knives/bayonets, holsters, cleaning rods, magazines, etc. on one policy.

I became aware of Collectors insurnce and contacted them for more information. I would be willing to switch if rates were cheaper, coverage was better, etc.

(Prior to contacting them I had read their handout I received at a gun show. I noticed two difference. The first was that I could not be sure that all of the weapon realetd items would be on one policy or not. Still have not been able to get an answer to this. The second point was that Collectors wanted all weapons of Value of $5,000 or more to be individually listed with numbers, etc and specific values. With Rielly, the only ones that had to be so listed were those with a value of $20,000 or more.

Rielly gave a lot more flexability. How many pistols do you have that are $4,000 now and what will they be in a year or so. If they go above $5,000 and you do not make a specific listing, there may or may not be coverage, but in any event, it would not exceed $5,000 in spite of the fact that it might be worth $6,000. So with the Colectors policy you would have to watch the values closely and update the policy often. When the break point is $20,000, then there is much less a problem.)

Anyhow, I contacted them and asked whether there would be one policy or not. Never received an answer.

Also I asked Collectors what were the differences between their policy and the policy offered by Rielly. I was told that Collectors did not know the difference between the policies as they had never seen a policy from Rielly. (If true, they sure do not check out their competition like the companies in other areas do.)

But when they said they did not know what was in the policy offered by Rielly, I decided not to change because (1) they either were not competent or were not telling me the truth and (2) perhaps they did not want to tell me because their policy was inferior to the one offered by Rielly.

Very good input Charles... thanks much!

Good morning everyone, I am posting this for my father, who had his entire collection stolen. We really appreciate everyone getting the word out to as many people as possible, if anyone see's or hears anything please contact us.

Ryan Honey

Ryan,

Best wishes to you and your father for a speedy recovery and prosecution of those involved...

I always look for Swiss luger in my travels... I will get an eye out for your serial number...

#12 1916 DWM does not have a serial number attached.

Hearing about this makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.:mad: If it were me I'd look to acquaintances that knew about the collection. It looks like they knew what the good stuff was to take. This is the one reason that my Lugers and other valuable guns are locked up in a safe. I also have a top of the line alarm system. Won't stop them if theyâ??re determined, but will slow them down quite a bit. I am going to a gun show this weekend and will post the list there and to a few other collectors that don't get on the internet.

For what it is worth, I passed this list to my club members in Malta.

Good news! One of my customers spotted these lugers at a Flee Market, and all but 5 have been recoved by the police. TH

amazing and how nice!


thanks Tom!!!
