Help on the FAQ

Ed, here are some topics which have occurred to me in the last ten minutes or so.

Where does "Parabellum" come from?
What is boosting? faking?
How do you tell the difference between an Erfurt and a DWM magazine shell?
How do you tell the difference between rust blue and salt blue?
How do you tell if a Luger has been re-blued?
What is the Simichrome test?
We need a commonly agreed-upon photographic portrayal of finish condition (% determination).
We need a bibliography in one place, perhaps with brief reviews.

I'll let the parts breakage survey simmer for a couple of weeks and then collate it and send it to you for inclusion--

So, anybody who hasn't fessed up to breaking parts while shooting, there's still time!
