Pete, unfotunately - you may be right!!!

As well - seeing as how there are only a couple of us that post to this area of the Forum (Hey also John S. and Ron..!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) here's what I was thinking last night. Let me know your thoughts, and whether you think the LugerForum is capable to do this - as I think it would be really interesting....

First - there are some really terrific folks on this Forum, with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, and the idea is to have one person for a short time, present a specific variation in detail. For example - in my case, early production HKs, as I noted above. As another, perhaps Ron could present a few of his pieces of a specific generation. Or, Jerry B. could lead us through a holster course of some sort - what to look for - and what to watch out for..?? Very narrow in focus - almost as an on-line detailed and interactive study of a very narrow area.

Additionally, my thought was to set up a separate area on this Forum that is closed - and to gain access to these "on-line" symposiums, simply request permission to either John S. or myself, so those who don't want to contribute in a productive way, are precluded. That accomplishes two things. For some who would want to show their pieces, it's scary to "exhibit" them in "public" - even though this is a closed site. As well, it would keep out the "general conversations and banter" that goes on in most of the threads - and those who simply "lurk".

In thinking through this last night, a couple of ground rules would have to be established - such as questions can be raised pertaining to what is being discussed. Further, absolutely no flaming - no matter how apparently "insignificant" would be tolerated. For example - it would be terrific to discuss questions such as "I have a similar piece, and why is mine marked in a different way" - rather then an post stating "Here's mine - it's proper, yours is highly questionable"... There is a vast difference between the two approaches.

Finally - using a separate area of this Forum, it becomes it's own distinct "area". I'd love to see some of Pete's collection and Ron's, or Tom's or whoeverÃ¢??s - as they have invested a lot of time and resources in first hand research. However, as me - I think there is a reluctance to share it, given a wider audience. With a closed audience - all with the same "agenda", the environment becomes quantifiably different. The attendees are there to "learn" while the person presenting their knowledge - is there to assist in that learning process.

Anyway - just a rough idea - so I'd invite others to comment and provide feedback. Heck, I dunno if this is something that might be of interest to the rest - but I do know I would be interested to learn first-hand from others unique knowledge and insight - but that's just me. Also - after the "topic at hand" is throughly discussed for a week or 2 (or 3? - I don't know), the closed Forum is cleared - and a new subject is introduced. The "archives from that Forum may be stored in a the "Reference" section I mentioned a few weeks ago, perhaps.

Oh - and Doc - I'll keep my eyes open for a good side-frame inscribed HK for you..! They are difficult to find - but well worth the wait..!!

Best to you!
