Characters such as Prince Alfred add a flavor to Luger collecting that is lacking in other fields such as stamp collecting. So we must love them for their contribution to the ambient atmosphere of our fraternity. Dissecting F�¼rst Alfred von Habsburg-Hohenberg would be the same as comparing the meter and examining the notes of the mockingbird instead of enjoying the beauty of the melody.

I have no opinion of the authenticity of Prince Alfred or his sidearm.

(If I were 'knighted', perhaps my wife would treat me with more respect!)
