A Quiz Idea....
You know - I really like these quizzes (I like them more when I can participate though )!!!
In reading this thread - an idea just occurred to me (OK - I do get an idea occassionally - less frequently - it may actually be a "good idea"...
The existing quiz format is great - but the subject of all Lugers and their history is kind of mind boggling to many of us. In fact many - if not most - of us specialize in particuliar eras or variations. That being the case, what do you all think of doing quizzes that focus in on these specialized areas? For example - have several threads on BYF BW varitions - and I'm sure there is enough information in the books on this specific type to do a quiz on just BWs? Or perhaps one for the WW1 era, or a quiz on Police variations, or holsters, etc??
In that way - we can actually "study" as it were, for these eras, rather then try to become an expert the entire history. From my perspective - more focused quizzes would allow many of us not to be overwhelmed with the extensive material required to score well. It would also promote our learning through preparing for a specific era.
To that point, if we wanted to go that route, I'd also be pleased to do a quiz on Kriegs - as I'm sure many of you would do for your respective areas of collecting expertise (for example - Navy models, Artillery models, Dutch, Vickers, etc..) Furthermore - and as a benefit, I also think the quizzes would then have some interesting, and little known, facts about those particuliar eras/variations brought to light..
Just a thought.. What do you folks think??
