Eternally grateful for the old board!

Hi Ted,

My compliments to you that you could remember that detail. I find it pretty arcane but being able to remember such things as right-side-vertical and left-side-horizontal is probably part of what makes your work so good. It sure is pretty. I keep looking for something in ***BAD*** enough shape to send to you but they seem very hard to find. I wouldn't want to re-blue anything with more than say 70% original finish.

A funny evolution is ocurring within me, though. As I become more the collector and read more about the fascinating Luger variations, the level of finish I consider acceptable keeps going down. I may continue to evolve to where I find Lugers in the white too precious not to re-blue.

Interesting evolution, huh?

I still admire those who actually shoot their Lugers. After all, that is what they were made for!
