Hi Norme,

I found this which is really a great thread http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...ent+buyhttp://...EVERY new collector should read this carefully!
Fore warned, is fore armed!!!

This is a poll conducted by Ed Tinker. The question was what dealers would you purchase from again...the voting results were as follows:

It is interesting to copy, then sort what info is here, as of 9-18-07;

Bill Christensen, CA USA 0 0%
Wimer Collectible Firearms (George Wimer), OR USA 0 0%
Fred Fiet, IL USA 2 1.14%
Krausewerk Collectibles (Mike Krause), CA USA 2 1.14%
I choose not to participate in the Poll. 2 1.14%
Mid West Firearms (Ken Kontos/Jack Sweeney) MN USA 3 1.71%
Phoenix Investment Arms (Tom Etowski), NC USA 3 1.71%
DFW Firearms, TX USA 4 2.29%
Walley Morishige, NV USA 5 2.86%
G&G Relics, Gil Hoffman, MI USA 5 2.86%
I do not buy from Dealers, ever. 8 4.57%
Adams Guns (Bob Adams), NM USA 9 5.14%
Down East Anitiques (Joe Salter), NH USA 9 5.14%
Relics Of The Reichs (Mike Morris), TX USA 9 5.14%
Check-Point Charlies, WI USA 13 7.43%
World Of Lugers (Ralph Shattuck), AZ USA 14 8.00%
Other dealers, not listed. 17 9.71%
Collector Firearms (Rany Bessler), NV USA 20 11.43%
Simpsons LTD (Bob & Brad Simpson), IL USA 24 13.71%
FGS, Inc. (Doug Smith/Ken Clark), OH USA 26 14.86%

Many of the dealers got upwards of 10%! So, looks like Phoenix is not the best vendor in the jungle.

Thanks, Norme...good post!
