Yes i am , i haven't talked to him in about 3 months ,but he taught me a lot about Luger's . I first met him when i first bought my C96 ,he restored it for me and did a beautiful job on it i might say.
Of course he will talk your ear off ,and have you rolling in the isles if you let him with the stories he tells.
He never was in the German Military because of a very bad knee he has that he shattered while working on a Farm.
He was 20 when the War ended, he hid in a cellar for days with his sister.
But by working in the Arms Factories the Government didn't mess with him a whole lot. He said when the DMW plant was disabled he was transfered to a sheet metal stamping outlet and he stamped the receivers out for the new STG 44 rifles.
They were so controlled that one place didn't make everything for them ,several places did and they were assembled elsewhere , but he never knew where that was.
