I haven't yet reached the first anniversary of my affliction with this madness, so I probably don't qualify as a "collector." I inherited a Luger rig from my uncle's estate last summer and became fascinated with Weimar police unit marks. I now have a database of over 650 marks and have begun using it to research various topics about the Weimar police. So far, I have analyzed Prussian police school marks, H.P. marks and Landj�¤gerei marks. Next on my list is Berlin Schutzpolizei marks.

To avoid financial ruin and a possible divorce, I have vowed to limit my collecting to one example of each of my research topics (max.). So far, I have one Luger with a police school mark, one with a Landj�¤gerei mark and one with a Berlin Schutzpolizei mark. I'm looking for a Luger or Mauser M1914 marked H.P.
