How Many Lugers Do The Average Member Collect

[ithacaartist]

Status as Pre-Novice means 0 Lugers.

I'm in that category at the moment, but realize that because of how I feel about Lugers, the eventual arrival of my permit, and the fact that I'm putting out bids, my status may sublimate directly to "advanced" in a very short time span, perhaps overnight! Always thought Lugers were the coolest of the iconic guns ( Colt Peacemaker, M1911, Winchester '94, etc.) ever since I was a little kid. And , yes, I'm 60 now. The ongoing realization that life is short---and You're not my mom! (Mother actually would have been OK with it, but you know what I mean.)

And I'll take this opportunity to thank the forum, its hard working moderators and patrons, and don't forget my fellow members, for providing a fantastic body of information, wisdom in applying it, and sharing the spark I know we all have.

As a Skeptic, I love open inquiry, and it is one of my favorite things to follow the threads about unusual markings, and how the entire community here contributes relevent (or not) tidbits to a case, increasing everyone's experience and knowledge. Love it when better data comes from out of the blue, changing what we thought was, to what we now think is.

Reciprocal of 54 is 1/54. I know there's a name for switching digits, it's on the tip of my tongue... Anagram? Kind of, but no, another word.
