Ron,
I heard about your wife's cancer here on the forum, I also heard you had some good new about it. You both have my best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
I met another guy from Eugene a couple of years ago who was into Unit marked guns. I bought a restored Navy Luger from him. He was a lawyer in Eugene, I can't recall his name at the moment but I have it written down some where, I'll look for it, maybe you know him.
I have a niece and nephew who live in Eugene and one of my wife's brothers (william Orr) taught Geology at U of O for 30 years or so. I get down that way every once in a while, although compared to you i'm a regular commuter, I must see Eugene at least once a year. I'll let you know the next time I plan a trip down that way.
I wouldn't under value dumb luck when it comes to finding nice Lugers. If it weren't for dumb luck I wouldn't have have the guns I have now, not the better ones anyway. I would say you give that luck a little help by constant vigilance on the net and through your local network. At any rate you have some terrific unit marked guns. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of any of the Weirmar guns, I'll get in the back of the line.
If you plan to make it to Portland again let me know, I'd love to meet you and talk unit markings.
Thanks,
Bob M.
