Gentlemen,
It is fitting and proper to point out the mistakes of a newcomer to the Luger fraternity to educate and hopefully preclude future errors in selection. It is not necessary to be rude. I have made some really magnificent mistakes and I always appreciated being instructed by those more experienced than I, rather than being belittled for my ineptness. If words fail you regarding what we old timers may consider a less than prudent purchase or an errant approach to collecting, then perhaps as my Dad told me, "the least said is the easiest mended". I am of the opinion that individuals should be encouraged to learn and participate in the hobby rather than be discouraged.
I need to get off my soapbox least I develop a nosebleed from the altitude. Sorry.
