Hey John! My so called many girl friends are too busy spending my money on themselves or trying to get me to do it for them. (Hee! Hee!). I do have a color printer/scanner. A new HP 1600. Some day I am going to figure out how the thingy works. The dog gone thing is pretty tricky.
Someone asked what someone might do with the navy rear toggle. Well I just got back from the Ohio Gun Collectors Assoc. (OGCA) show in Wilmington, Ohio. Doug Smith and a bunch of us were laughing at a made up Luger that had a 16 inch or so long barrel with a counterfeit navy rear toggle on it. Funny looking thing. But thanks to Ron Woods excellent pictures with explainations, I was able to take my time and look at the counterfeit rear toggle that was on the gun. A blind man could just feel the difference on that toggle knob and see that it was fake. The top of that knob is noticably flatter than you would find on a 'real' navy rear toggle. But if someone wants to make up a gun that they are going to have some fun shooting and you have the bucko's to buy a navy rear toggle, this is what you can do.
Just a little off topic, I missed out on getting a 1902 Luger carbine at the OGCA show and felt bad about it until I picked up a very nice Sattler Lief.Verb.Im Subm.Amt - 1918 Leipzig artillery holster. To top it off, after talking to the guy, the seller said that he might have the cup and straps at home. We made arrangements to meet some time in the near future. Sorry for this off topic mention, but sometimes a guy has to brag when he has the chance. I quickly forgot about the 1902 carbine. It really pays to be a real good looking guy with a great personality. Doug Smith really ate his heart out when he saw the holster. (Hee! Hee!). He probably would have tried to sell it to me for $10,000. (Just kidding, but not by much)
