"Shoot through a tree"

[John Sabato]

"Back in the middle or late "60's" I remember a recurring add that appeared on the back page of one of the gun magazines for German Luger's and C96 Broomhandles, the prices listed were, I believe, $25.00, $29.00 and $35.00."

That ad was probably a "Hunter's Lodge" ad... they used to appear in LOTS of gun magazines including the American Rifleman... I remember dreaming back them, 'If ONLY I could by a thousand dollars worth of those Lugers and P.38's...' ...of course our late friend Ralph Shattuck... took my idea and ran with it!
