Anxious?

Let me get this straight! You are anxious to see Mr Armstrong's pedicure? You have never seen one? As my man Slim pickens said "I am depressed!"

Jack,
It is Armstrong, not Anderson....he is the LP-08 guy who never displays toes. |

Tom, Thanks but those are some pretty poor photo's with or without toes! I suggest you send this manual to me so I can thumb thru it at my leisure!
Marine Model 1904!!! Where do you get this stuff? Anyone want to make a wild guess as to how many of these exist on this Planet? You must forgive Jack...The Arizona heat and sun is taking it's toll! When I am in my cups, even I have even been known to get these two Famous collectors mixed up...Jerry Burney

Navy Manual
I have it on pretty good authority from Albert Billiard that there are 3 others known.

This manual is for a M1906 Navy Commercial Luger.
I know of three original manuals: I own one; one in a German collection; and Tom's manual he recently purchased. These Navy manuals are extremely rare. The manual for the Navy military Luger has an imperial eagle on the cover, and it is dated 1911 to the best of my knowledge. There are only two military manuals known to exist which are both in a European museum. Well done Tom, Albert |

Albert,
The challenge now is to find and obtain a 3rd military manual. On the hunt! Tom A. |

Yeap, but Tom still needs to clip those toe nails!!! Let's try to throw some 'dirt' on George!!
The day an original military Navy manual becomes available, it is going to go big bucks! Tom, are you ready? Cheers, Albert |
