Introductions

Good day, gentle-persons. I've gotten my nerve up to post and feel the need to introduce myself. My name is John Cornwell and I live in Southern Indiana about 30 miles from Louisville, KY. I have been lurking around the site for about a year now and finally screwed up the courage to register. I am so impressed with the mother lode of knowledge and experience to be found here. It awakened in me a desire to be possessed by a Luger or two. I am now owned by a 1916 (Same year my dad was born) DWM, an M1914 Mauser 7.65, and C96 Mauser c1912 or so. The Luger is a mostly matching (I think!) shooter about NRA Very Good condition. The c1928 M1914 Mauser is in remarkable shape; and the C96 "has issues." Pictures, naturally, when I get sufficient posts to do so.

My future (also present and only) wife gave me my first firearm 48 years ago and I've been collecting and shooting ever since. I'm a former Marine tanker with trigger time, a retired Banker and have earned a Masters in Theology (What ever was I thinking!). As time and treasure allow, I hope to acquire additional Lugers to fondle. Meanwhile I am immersing myself in the forum, drinking in the knowledge and experience to be gleaned.

Best regards to all,
John
