Bring back Stories

[Edward Tinker]

Brad Simpson just wrote me;

I'll be shipping pre-orders today, and taking copies to the Louisville show that starts tomorrow.

I took a picture of my 88 year old father the other day and had it superimposed over another photo of him at the mess hall during WW2. He is holding the mint 1939 Police Banner he brought back of which the story of its capture is in Ed Tinkers first book. He flew 64 P47 fighter missions over Italy and Germany and earned the DFC.
Picture 2 is of him entering Germany with his Colt .45 at the ready. He regrets to this day he did not bring the Colt back.
Picture 3 is the footlocker the Luger came back in.
Picture 4 is the Luger.

Hey Tom, these extra pictures would be good for Vol III (already up to page 54), send them to my email, weimar_lugers@verizon.net if you'd like me to add them! Would make a nice one page spread

And anyone else that has guns with provenance, send me your story's, doesn't have to be a family member or a luger
