Thanks!

Bought my 1917/18 Erfurt from Charlie Justman (Checkpoint Charlie's). Gun was as advertised, except "matching" mag was only a number match, not suffix. Holster was excellent.

He's a businessman. His prices seem relatively low (read: reasonable), so he's not much into haggling--if you broach the subject, politeness counts.

Call him up, he appreciates the personal contact.

I look forward to buying from him again.

Bought two Lugers from Checkpoint Charlie's. Guns were received exactly as described; no issues. Positive experience.

I tried that address and came up snake eyes....

Has anyone got an active link?

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 01:37 PM

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's actually Checkpoint Charlies as in plural charlie....

Ed, that's why they call you the SUPER Moderator!

Hi:

The Model 34 Berretta I purchased from him was exactly as advertised.

Turnaround on the transaction was also fast.

hmmm, John's words, I like "Moderator who cares"... but then that makes it sound like John D and John S don't care!

So, maybe "Moderator extraordinaire"?

Or "Ed the almost knowing Moderator"?

Or "Ed who uses JanÃ¢??s books and sounds like he knows something Moderator"

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 02:51 PM

LOL!! No, I think Super Moderator best describes you. I can just see you now in gunmetal blue tights and bright red cape with a big "S" on your chest with an Arty Luger on your side...

Edward Tinker · 08-19-2005, 02:53 PM

oh man, never thought about that!

It would be an SM or S&M...

boy, am I bummed now

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 03:02 PM

That is too funny.... I hadn't thought about the intitials...

"...gunmetal blue tights and bright red cape with a big 'S' on your chest... "

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 04:00 PM

I can see him now, flying over gunshows and cruising the internet, pointing out fakes and making viable links from otherwise undeciferable text... :-D

Wow, we sure hijacked this thread to heck and back....

Sorry about that k1mri....

k1mri · 08-19-2005, 06:43 PM

I was wondering what happened?

Interesting reading however.

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 06:53 PM

Ya gotta have a little fun now and again....
