The problem is, most of the collecting community buys and sells guns trying to make a bit of a profit in order to add pieces to the collection. The line between 'hobby dealing' and 'profit boosting' is a thin one, and it takes a decent character to stick to the first and not go with the other.

So always be weary of people who are dealers first, and collectors second.

Waffen-Fabrik USA will not be the same with the passing of this old timer.
Luger collectors will talk about Ralph and his impact on Luger collecting for years and years to come.
