I joined the forums just alittle over a year ago. I began as a complete novice, who liked Lugers, and had owned a few over the years as shooters. Thanks to the members and experts on both Luger forums, I now have a very nice starter collection, a bazillion books, and can identify most variations by sight. And have a general knowledge of the average values of these variations.

The wealth of knowledge posted here on a daily basis is astounding.

I have had the opportunity to discuss this passion with some of the greatest people/collectors/experts in the world. I have become aquainted and made friends with fascinating and knowlegable people from all over the world. I have watched the forums improve and grow, to become the varitable encyclopedia of Luger and Axis pistol collecting.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowlege and friendship. And I hope I am worthy to impart this knowledge to others.

Merry Christmas!! And here's to another great year to come.

Ron

I would like to add that from the comments of new members. That this forum as well as Jan Still's forum have become the envy of all other collecting forums. We be #1
