While in the local supermarket I decided to look through the magazines, found a copy of "WWII History" and was looking through it when I saw none other than.......THE "DIAMOND EDITION ARTILLERY LUGER" ... [img]eek.gif[/img]

If you want to know who is behind it go here

Hello Brandon,

Although not my personal cup-o-tea; apparently there is enough of a market for these fantasy lugers for this company to stay in business and to advertise.

Maybe their customers are the same folks that spend $ 40K on a pick-up truck or spend $ 50K on an SUV...

Maybe one of these lugers is just another display of such rampant "conspictuous consumption"... [img]frown.gif[/img]

Guys and gals,

The folks who buy these are the same folks who have all of the beenie babies, Elvis decanters,and most of the other p.o.s. that are sold to a gullible market every day.

There are two real tragedies in this case though:
collectable historic artifacts are being destroyed and well intentioned people,in a desire to commerate their, or a relative's service during the late, great W.W.Twice, are buying these atrocities.

Barnum said it; but the tragedy is matching Lugers are a finite commodity. Wonder if Thor could bring one of these back to the point where his mark would be unnecessary?

Cryin' in my bourbon,

Tom A.
