Pete,
Doug Smith and Don Rousseau in addition to a few others, were indeed there. But, to my knowledge, they were more interested in examining a HK of mine rather than the 1902. I also thank you for your opinion. I am fearful that my post here might has been taken as much more hostile than I intended. I tried to add smilely faces but I guess that those faces didn't do the intended job. I really did enjoy meeting you for the first time. Your comments at the show may have surprised me but they did not make me mad at you.
Doug Smith hammered me on an HK that I had recently purchased from Jerry Peters here in Michigan. But in doing so, Doug did indeed increase my knowledge. He and I had a very good and long discussion on HK's in general. Jerry guaranteed that the gun was a mint HK and said that if I found out that it wasn't, he would take it back. We discussed the fact that I am leery of ANY minty Luger. I took the que from another poster on this thread and called Jerry and asked him to take it back and to refund my money. He refused to refund the $6500 that I paid, but he did offer to buy it back for $1000. Big of him. But this event may have influenced the tone of my post here and made me sound harsher on this thread than I intended. I apologize for that.
When I get my camera, I will post pictures of both the 1902 AE FB and the HK that I bought off off Jerry Peters. I might be a bit slow because I am still learning all the bells and whistles on my new computer and printer. I am sure that my new camera will also challenge my talents. Just bare with me and I will come through.
Big Norm
