Ralph is holding my new mint 1916 all matching including magazine 1916 Navy. It looked like it had never been handled let alone fired. This Luger has found a new home.

Ron brought the nice cotton gloves (WAY nicer for extended periods) I brought the cheesy latex ones for backup. I would like to thank everyone for respecting Ralph's fine firearms with these, seems like it went without a hitch! Thor

Now - Thor - all that snapping of the Latex gloves made me a tad "shy" - I dunno why...?? Must be psychosomatic reaction to something..??

Anyway - Ron did bring the cushy cotton gloves - but as well, brought an incredible array of early Lugers, which were all in 99+ condition. Even a consecutively serialized Lugers were in Ron's case. Ron - thanks so much for bringing both those minty Lugers and the gloves!!! (BTW: after seeing pieces from Ron's collection, I've got my eye on a certain early Luger as well - yep, Bill M. has it right "diversification of the collection" ) Thanks Ron..!!!

I was very impressed and he made sure he spread his knowledge! Answered many questions and let us look and drool over them.

Dan, your pictures are great, especially for those of us that didn't go. Next year, isn't really so far off, many thanx.....

Thanks guys!! At this point in life it is my priviledge and responsibility to pass on to the next generation what little knowledge I have have accumulated over the years. I make mistakes, but for the most part, I am extending what I have learned from my mentors. In rememberance, I frequently quote the teachings of Mr. John Morgan, who taught me a wealth of information on early Lugers and admonished me to "acquire the best I could afford". I encourage all Luger collectors, old and new, to read every available reference you can find on Luger history and development. The Luger colletor's best arsenal against a bad investment is a comprehensive knowledge of the "old timers" who have walked the path before you. God bless you all, and good collecting!!
