Personally, I've been interested since I was a wee little boy, knee high to a grasshopper. In 2001 (may have been late 2000) I bought my first parabellum for around nine hundred dollars in gold (Imperial German 20 mark pieces). I guess you could call that "fitting" for a 1915, eh? Yes, I'm a strange one, probably one of the few people nowadays who would blow 900 $ on a pistol at age twenty. I had to have it though. I wish I had the coins too now, but you can't have everything you want. One day I'll put those back in my collection. Just recently I bought my second parabellum for 400$, a buffed out whoknowswhat, with artificially dished toggles, no markings, nothing, just the frame serial number. That one stays under my pillow at night so I have something to snuggle with. (And I wonder why my wife left me... <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> ) Beyond that, I seem to be the only one whose family was on the receiving end of all the bombs in WWII on this forum. One of my grandpappies was in Finland with a heavy MG company in the Waffen SS, honestly now, how many of your pappys and grandpappys tried to pot him?? <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" /> The other stayed at home and put out all the incendiaries while my mother, grandmother, and aunt stayed in the bomb shelter. Come to think of it, there's still a dud in our backyard (scary huh?). My main interest is Imperial German "stuff"-- everything, really. I collect both coins and guns, stamps too when they come around. Well, I seem to be blabbering on and on, better shut up before my mouth falls off. <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" /> I do love this forum!!! Prost! <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" /> Next I want to get a shooter artillery and a shooter navy, then the collectible types... I need a higher paying job. Highest regards too all my fellow luger lunatics, Tom.
