Just found you!

Dear All - just found your fantastic site and have spent the last hour or so having a peek around the general area. I am the owner of two P.08s - one a 1918 DWM, the other a byf 42. I have had both of them for a long time, in fact, I bought the 1918 model in 1973, and the byf in 1984. You really don't want to know how I have still got them in my possession in spite of the legislation banning post-1917 handguns except for criminal usage here in UK. You do? Well, [deep breath] they are both deactivated. I have just retired from 34 years in the Army, and am a frequent visitor to our Ministry of Defence pattern room where we have a formidable collection of P.08's of all types. Until the ban, both of my pistols were shot about every weekend. If you still want to talk to me after finding out about the way I held on to my precious pistols, I'm sure that I would have a lot offer the forum. Now, if you still want me to come on board, thank you. If not, thank you and goodbye.


Regards
