thanks for your message Marvin.

There are some amazing guns which keep turning up over here.

The prices reflect the sad state of our economy how ever.

There was a very nice 50 round thompson mag in the Auction but it sold for far more than I had bugeted for , over $1000.00. It went to an overseas postal bidder. I will have to try again.

I picked up a mint 1000 round drum recently and a 1921 thompson gun serial number 586. It is an Irish sword and is listed in Tracie L Hill's book in the first 15000 serial numbers.

I can,t wait to get back to Ralphs Place again. My wife and I attended the "gathering" in early March this year with Capt Jack (John) Mc Carl from Mesa Arizona. I felt I had died and gone to Luger heaven!!. My wife really loved the guns to, although she is an American Civil war collector.

A bit strange for a New Zealander. I think she lived for too long in Texas a few years ago.

Mid night Monday 28th here so I better go to bed.

Kind regards
