Well, that is not just true with guns. As a "kid" "14-17 years old" (and being 44 years old, I figure I have more than 20 years left to me), as a kid I was given this same kind of treatment, and many times I knew a heck of a lot more than the guy sitting there selling. But also, I never had 20k, which is a hell of a lot of money, and it is possible you were arrogant sounding to him (in return), he sounds like I would have been irritated also by his attitude.

I feel that many Lugerâ??s are in the hands of â??olderâ? guys, but that is because they have the money from years of trading, collecting and working. There are also younger guys collecting, you can look at the photos on this forum, and see that not everyone is an old foggy. I started collecting Luger (1 that is) in my early 20â??s, although I bought Datig in my late teens.

My point is, there are lots of jerks out there, but there are lots of nice guys too. And I get treated like dirt at times too, and believe me, that irritates the hell out of me, as I am sure it irritates you!

Welcome to the forum, but watch the calling George an old fuddy-duddyâ?¦
