Tom,
Yah, investing can be tough. One has to diversify and Lugers with its inherent entertainment and intellectual facets can be a fun involvement away from the stock market. This forums chit-chat only magnifys those pursuits. I believe that I have made a few friends here and I am looking forward meeting some of them in person this summer. I also have made friends with some dealers like Ken and Joe of FGS and have found them to be good guys. I also had the pleasure of meeting Heinz and his son last summer at the OGCA show in Wilmington, Ohio last summer.
I am looking foreward to meeting you sometime in the near future. I don't know what Lugers to bring along since I think that your navy collection is of a better quality than mine. Maybe we could just met over an adult beverage an tell a couple of jokes. But I would like to bring something for show and tell (read that bragging). Actually, very few Lugers in my collection have been restored. Maybe a Kentucky show? Keep us informed of where you might be.
Big Norm
