Ed,
GREAT IDEA
, and I also must concur with you that the maker and the presumed year of production must be used for identification of each photo, There should also be a division on the page between suffixes used on frames, barrels and magazines... otherwise it will just be a hodgepodge of photos. This could turn into a great library that would be unmatched by any current Luger reference book!
You do the dirty work (thank God) and I will be glad to create a new "suffix" page to go under "technical information" to display your HTML pages and the photos...
Just let me know when you have a "first draft" and we will put it up... you can always edit it to keep it current as photos are supplied...
We could make it look something along the lines of the Rogues Gallery pages...multiple rows and columns and we can have one web page for each character that is linked from the 'master' page where you select the character you are looking for...I can send you the blank format to start with if you like. Let me know.
