Rick, My efforts for the last 2 decades have been to repair, restore, preserve and collect. I am first off a collector of historical original German Military artifacts. The only reproductions I have ever made have been those that were very rare, unavailable or too expensive.

I accurately preserve damaged and broken items..or ones bubba has ruined after taking some boneheads bad advice. The one I see all the time are holsters taken to a shoe repair guy..rather than restore them they are ruined forever..almost exactly like the idiot advice I heard one time about drilling out the original threads on an original stock iron.

"I guess I gave up on collecting years ago" Yes..I guess you have given up on collecting because anyone who is interested in preserving history, taking care of expensive historical artifacts as a collector entrusted to them would NEVER suggest such stupidity. I resent that a member such as yourself would not only suggest it to a new member but go on to try to defend it. It is exactly the opposite of what I stand for. Destruction of original German stock irons is too foolish to contemplate.

" I do hope that tomorrow goes better for you." It would be much better if I didn't have to waste time with people who post idiotic advice thanks.

If you have lost your passion for Luger collecting I understand but please do your best to keep bad ideas to yourself.
