Time to get serious...

The magazine looks to have been renumbered at some point.

Enough to buy a $2,000.00 Luger, I guess. Now that I'm retired and have time on my hands, maybe it's something I can take up to make myself a few bucks?

Boulder has a fairly thriving dance community as I understand it. I can give you a referral to a good teacher if you like...

Good to know - thanx!

Hi Zorba, I'm having second thoughts. Whenever I reach a crossroads in my life, I ask myself, "what would John Wayne do?". I don't think he'd approve!
Best regards, Norm

Someone once told me that John Wayne said, "When you wear high heels, you gotta be tough!"

I have an old movie starring Peter Sellers & Ringo Star called "The Magic Christian" which has many cameos in it and one is a singer in the cruise ship lounge which is hilarious...

Rich, we may be miles from the topic, but I couldn't resist saying I've wanted to catch that flick ever since I heard about it in the late 60s/early 70s. Always was a fan of Peter Sellers and Beatle-related movies. I'll try Netflix, now that I'm reminded of it again...

I can hear his drawl...

But even I don't (at least hitherto) wear heels - although Lebanese style dancing stereotypically requires them. I can't imagine a faster way for me to break an ankle then trying to totter about onstage in stilettos.

But more to the original point, although I haven't yet ruled out the subject pistol, I'm eyeballing yet another - if the seller answers my questions the way I hope, I'll snag that one instead. The original is still a possibility, but is now more of a backup - if that.

Ah, we'd let you do it in cowboy boots--which, of course, offer more stability!

Any pics or info about the latest prospect?

Yes, bought this one:

Now everyone can tell me how I paid too much for it...

Norm, sorry, have to disagree with you I think John Wayne would laugh to see you dancing

I think John Wayne would tell you to do "whatever the Hell you wanna do.".

A "first Luger" is a wonderful thing. Whether you overpaid or not really doesn't matter at this point in time. It is a done deal. You will learn from it(breakdown, cleaning, lubing, springs), and perhaps be very frustrated if it is not 100% reliable, but you will still be very proud of it, and it will make you smile. In a very short timeframe, you will forget about the price that you paid, and just get on with the fun of owning one....my $.02

That is correct. It is reported to be 100% reliable and functional - I hope so and we'll see - the previous owner supposedly wanted more of an "every day" mixed parts example. I'm not planning on shooting it very much, just "a little once in a while".

In other news, when I went to my local FFL, they had a C96 in the case - so I got to handle that. Looked decent overall - reblued over some pitting on one side. Cool gun, but I'm just not jonesing for one. $1200.
