My grandfather was a Swedish machinist that immigrated to the USA when he was 8 years old.

During both wars, he worked as a machinist making commercial sewing machines for Union Special in Chicago. He worked there through both wars and the entire depression, and must have been quite skilled.

His son, my Father, served in the Navy very early in WW-II - and had no interest in firearms whatsoever.

So... here I am collecting Lugers.
