Frank,

I am not sure how to really quantitatively or qualitatively determine "novice" from "collector" to "advanced collector".

I know a few fellows that might be rich enough to own over 50+ lugers, but from their knowledge, gun show experiences, number of luger books owned, experience in determining legit from boosted piece, and whom they buy lugers from, etc...some might consider them still a "novice" even with safes full of lugers.

I also know some other really luger-smart fellows that are poor as paupers and may only own 3-5 lugers, but they would be hard to match when it comes to spotting a boosted piece.

So I figured knowing how many lugers Member have might be a good start.

Maybe another Poll should be started to ask "How Many Years Have You Been Collecting Lugers ?" might be a good one, as well.
