Hi Ron,

Those are very good points which I didn't think to include in my "defense argument."

Well, I'm happy to be back but I don't come equipped with what I had back then, over 40 pieces mostly Grip Saftey types and some nice militaries including Krieghoffs, KUs, K Date, G Date, Mauser Banner Police, and some of the more common type Mausers.

I sold them off little by little prior to 1984 except for five pieces: 1900 Test Eagle #6413 with a perfect holster, 1900 Swiss Commercial #375 as perfect as a Swiss can be, 1902 Fat Barrel Eagle #22708 with Ideal Grips and telescoping stock holster, 1906 Eagle 7,65 #31666 and a 1906 Naval rig, can't remember the number. The reason I sold the last five was to get a downpayment for my house.

I sold the Test Eagle which had a Presentation case to a dealer in NH who told me he later sold it to Ralph Shattuck. I sold the Fat Barrel Eagle and the 1906 Eagle and the Naval to the late Bernie Lafferty and his partner at the time and a very good friend, Jim Chasse, who I'm sure you know took the photos of Ralph's Lugers in Kenyon's book.

So here I am with a 1940/42 rig, the top half of what was a very nice Artillery, a nice 1915 holster a couple of P.38s and PP rigs and not enough $$ to get back into my first love Early Grip Safetys.

Thanks Ron,

Jerry
