Greetings all,
Does anyone plan to attend the Ft.Worth gunshow at end of this month? This will be my first time. Any information will be appreciated.

Harry,
usually Mike Morris is there near front entrance
you can see his discussions re bring backs / vet purchases / historical
http://www.relicsofthereichs.com/lugers.htm

my last visit to Ft Worth show was as a walkaround about 6 months ago

Morris had some nice and interesting display / offerings inc a few lugers and various WW2 stuff at the show

some other individuals tables I saw with a few lugers were in my opinion to be avoided
may have been some I missed as I started walkaround about 2 pm sunday

enjoy
Bill

My wife and I will be at the Dallas Gun Collectors Show on Saturday 8/20. Its a huge fun show and there are usually a lot of fine guns to lust after; some that we can even afford. As for Mike Morris, I bought one Luger from him a couple of years ago. I avoid him now because his guns are usually not priced and when asked he seems to just pick a price out of thin air. Morris, in my opinion, is rather arrogant too though his wife is quite nice and always says hello.

Mike Morris claims that his KU has a Luftwaffe eagle stamp? Is this a misnomer, as I have never seen a Luftwaffe eagle stamp on a Luger.

Also, the 1911 with capture papers discussed here some weeks ago is also listed for sale.

I have, in my gun safe, a very unique Luger that was bought by a friend from a well known Texas dealer. The pistol came with capture paper and other documentation which probably took as much effort and imagination to develop as did the pistol.

Two lawyers are currently working on the case of this fraud so I will not go any further in to a discussion of the gun or the current owner now. Just be warned that it's sometimes an ugly world out there.
