I asked these questions on other forums and got some good info about the CADA organization and the potential protection some of our beginning luger collectors may gain by utilizing CADA member dealers for their first few lugers.

As beginners are most prone to fall prey to unscrupulous luger peddlers, I thought sharing the CADA info. I was able to get from a NAPCA member might help those just starting out in their first luger purchase...

Original Questions I posted on other forums :

Could someone point me to a web site link or would anyone have info. on the Collector Arms Dealers Association (CADA) ?

I see their plastic name plates on many gun dealer tables at gun shows and several showcase their CADA membership on their web sits or gun Lists...

Wonder if CADA affiliation has a strong "thumbs up" amongst collectors...especially if beginning collectors can count on the honesty of the CADA dealer or the authenticity of their wares ?

Does membership in CADA have any provisions for beginning buyers...in case a gun purchase does not work out and the buyer wants to take some recourse through the national CADA organization ?

Does CADA expell members found not to uphold their standards ?

Any info on CADA or a link to their organization web site would be appreciated.
