Questions about a 1916 DWM

revolverforums · 02-06-2009, 11:05 PM

Alvin between my years in the military and just a small part of my own collection I have fired no less then 20k rounds including doing service on a 109 firing 155mm howitzers. I consider these to be childs play. This site has some very good information on it, it also has a problem and IMHO the reason it hasn't grown and never will. Have a good day.

I still prefer things that go around, they always go bang.

Nice guns. I prefer smaller stuffs, wristwatches over wall clocks, pistols over rifles (let alone cannons). But that's pure personal taste.

I am a former Security Information Manager, and that is why I suggest not having your pictures somewhere else; YOU can state any thing you want about your security and the reasons you posted your pictures but facts are that there are a lot of bad sites out there.

But your other answers, all you've been is helped, so why the comments about our site?

Play nice or don't play here. Be advised that the luger collecting community is small, you can play nice here or try to show up on several other gun boards and you'll find the same moderators and members.

No actually Ed I reviewed about 25 other posters after I posted this. I found that there was a pattern of attacks. Just the way I see it. As far as your security Ed, I dare you to even tell me the OS on that machine hosting those images.

Ron I started out saying it was a shooter, as far as fair price goes I think I did great compared to the ads I read on this site in the classified. I didn't expect an attack for a 750 dollar gun. To me it's pocket change and while I may have been proud that I didn't get taken I feel as though some WAG's were made about the gun. It may not be a collector, but it may not be what was presented here either. You say your experts, I still remember a day when a Colt expert told me they never made a python in 38 caliber with less then a 8 inch barrel, just so happens I own one with a 2.5 inch barrel with the letter from Colt to prove it is a factual gun. I didn't argue the point, after all he was an expert. One thing forty years of collecting guns has convinced me of, is never say never. You see gun makers don't live by any rules, be them mauser or who ever.
