Whine about his misfortune? Doh. That wasn’t very sanguine Garfield. Anyway, looking up at the photos of his prodigal 1940 Luger, I can see why RJ might want to be obdurate and try to salvage it somehow. It looks like a German officer dragged it all the way back from Kharkov to the Oder River and then the Seelow Heights. It’s got character. But that blemish is gigantically obnoxious, it sticks out like Saddam Hussein at a John Birth Society meeting. But Robert, Garfield may be right, Shattuck may give you a really killer exchange for it. Maybe even something much cooler than this 1940 piece. And definitely employ Wes’ nefarious idea of mentioning this forum with its 490 plus members to Ralph. I’m sure Ralph would defecate his pants if he thought his reputation might be skunked here. And I don’t think that anyone here thinks you’re an idiot. But maybe Mr. Jennings was one of those ABC reporters who had his gas mask on too tight during those first scud attacks during the Gulf War. LOL. (Joke! Please don’t flame me. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] )
