Lots going on in this string, but I'll limit my comments to Ralph. I visited with him 3-4 times (once with Ed T.) and Ralph and his wife were always the perfect hosts. Dinner at his country club and hours of conversation were always in store when I visited his home in Peoria which was fairly close to mine. I always took what Ralph claimed with a grain of salt and did as much research as possible before buying from him. As said earlier in this post, Ralph was one of the founding members of the Luger collecting society and was indeed a used car salesman from Detroit. It is said that he coined the phrase "Black Widow Luger" to help sell byf Lugers with plastic grip panels. Ingenious.
