As one of the Newbies jumped upon, I don't think Garfield should go away. No matter how harsh or crusty, his expertise is valuable. If you read between the lines, the ones that intimate you don't have the brains to collect, there is a wealth of knowledge. I now have three Lugers and am much the better for his chastisment. I also now own every book that is suggested for the informed collector. He was right, read, read, read! I hope he continues on the forum. Robert
