Siamese Artillery

Pete,
your getting suspicious of people in your old age. I don't really know Mr. Rousseau, but I did talk to him at the recent OGCA show. He had a beautiful 1915 artillery holster for sale for $1500. He seemed like a genuine, real nice guy and our conversation was very good. He said that he had some 200 plus guns and I kidded him about having that many treasures in a state that is known for its earth quakes. One good quake and all that treasure vanishes. POOF! I asked him how he accumulated so many Lugers in a state that is so far out of the gun collecting loop and he started rattling off all the high level gun shows that are so often mentioned on this forum. But I was very tired from my long drive to the show and I wanted to get back home to see the Michigan State/Notre Dame football game that was on TV that I didn't talk to him as much as I wanted to. Personally, in the gentleman class, I would rank him right up there with John Martz. Of course, John Martz is still number one though.

Oh, by the way, the MSU/Notre dame football game was a great game but I had to listen to it on my car radio off of the Notre Dame station. Next week MSU plays UofM and I WILL be home to see THAT game.
