Just curious the age of all the folks around here. I'm in my 20's and have always loved Lugers, including the Luger squirt gun I got when I was like 5.

A good portion of us are old - real old. It is nice though to have people around who will carry the torch.

I guess after reading Ron Wood's and Neil Young's posts you can count me as one of the "kids" as Sheepherder calls them, wont be 74 until late in the year.

Three (3) days younger than dirt!! Some mornings, I feel like a thousand, but so goes life, and I still enjoy it very much.

41 going on 14, and hoping that I can still afford to buy lugers in this 'new economy'.
![]() I find the diversity of opinion and experience here to be very refreshing. I find that the atmosphere of gentlemanly congeniality here to be a pleasant contrast to some other firearms-oriented forums. I also appreciate very much the fact that beginning and intermediate-level collectors like myself are able to interact with and learn from the true experts and "old hands" in the field. As I get older, I am starting to appreciate the fact we are all subject to the forward march of time, and that we are all "caretakers of history", in a very real sense. The more I can learn, the more I can pass on... Last edited by 318is_Parabellum; 02-15-2014 at 05:13 PM. |

I never owned any Luger squirt guns. Instead, I had an all metal luger capgun made by Lone Star. Sadly I broke it, but had LOTS of fun nonetheless. My dad always liked the P.08....somewhere I picked up his admiration for them. And I agree, hardwood and steel makes the best guns.
As for age, I turned 28 last December. -Chris |

It is all attitude. I keep telling folks that I'm going to live to be an old man if it kills me.
