It's just a gun to shoot (my future son-in-law is that type person). When I see work superbly completed, it makes my eyes tear. My eyes are wet now looking at the P-38. The dedication, research, time and patience involved is far beyond my abilities. I have never met Thor but have seen the results of his work many times. The same can be said about Jerry Burney. I have never met Jerry but have conversed on the phone a few times and seen his Mastery of Leather. Both these men are a tribute to a slowly dieing profession. Their talent amazes me and I'm proud to be associated with them. Even if only in LugerForum.

For some guys guns are just there to shoot and cars just there to drive. Like the restoration of an old classic car, the restoration of a gun needs a lot of passion, professionality, experience and the love for details, too.
I love both: Old cars and old guns.
