What makes my life so good is happy clients, friends and getting to work with TRUE masters, I am just a "duffer", real restorers like Gale Morgan are the true restoring masters. Great people like Hugh Clark, you Jerry, GT, Dok, Tom Heller, Neil Keller (Hub)John Sabato, and Ed Tinker really help make my work look way better and make posting possible. Who really makes this all possible from a human perspective is John Dunkle who hosts this website and my restoration website. When it comes all down to it great friends are the real bonus in this adventure I have embarked on. What makes this forum strong for collectors is the experts that know so much about each area of Luger collecting and are kind enough and patient to share their expertise. It is gratifying to see how this forum and data base of Luger info has grown since it's inception in 1998 with Mr Chapman for a short time then how it really took off under John Dunkle's guidance when he took it over. Wow, how time flys! It's nice to know that I have great support. I email Tom and say "I need a Luger part" or GT, I need a mag fixed, or Hugh, I need some grips restored, or Jerry, a client needs his Luger holster fixed. And they always come through for me. What a blessling to work with these guys. I hope Dok comes back and starts doing Luger cases again.
Like this picture, Dok did the case, Hugh did the grips, Neil Keller did the work making the Baby Luger, GT did one of the mags, Jerry Burney made the sweet buckskin hardshell to fit it perfectly FROM SCRATCH! Tom Heller probably supplied some of the parts for it. With support like that, my job is easy! WOW, what a talented group of master artisans to draw from, what a blessing!!!
