Default Ralph E. Shattuck, 7/28/1929-7/28/2010

It has been two years since Ralph passed away. Time flies. He is missed. We can thank Ralph for making the luger hobby what it is today, no one can refute this. He literally set the prices and essentially made the market for lugers that we enjoy (if sellers) today. I personally benefited from his friendship, good humor, knowledge and humility. Ralph, R.I.P.

He sold me my first luger a 1906 French D'armes. He was in a position to have the largest inventory and would take payments! R.I.P. my friend! Eric
