Hi, Jerry. I went to their preview session. The only C96 in Sturgess collection attracted me was the Turkish contract one. A few pieces in Schroeder collection were attractive. So I registered a few, including the Turkish, and this 20-CH. But the budget only allowed one. So, finally only got the 20-CH.

System Mauser 444 was very attractive. But thought about this... if I got 20-CH, and System Mauser, Turkish, etc... what else I would have to wait to appear in future?? Unlike the sellers, I had no plan to expand into Bergmann, I would not start collecting Bergmann although it's interesting. So, I passed 444, leave some holes in the collection and keep waiting.

A few hundred dollars left after paying this 20-CH. So, I bought a Romanian Cugir WASR 10/63 rifle from a local gun shop ... lots of fun there.
