collections

Hi merc,

I think most of the "gray beards" here started out similar: as gatherers, rather than collectors. I got my first piece, an Arisaka rifle, from one of my dad's buds when I was about 4 years old. From that beginning, I spent 40 plus years simply "acquiring" as many neat W.W.I-W.W. II pieces as I could glom on to.

Over the years, I had bunches of "broom's, loads of P-38s, all known Webleys, dozens of Browning HP, M1910, M1910/22, Thompson M1921, 28, M-1,
