Reintroduction
Hello everyone,
My name is Brandon and some of you may remember me as a very enthusiastic 14 year old kid who used to poke around this forum many years ago. As time passed, I developed other interests and strayed from the forum, although I never gave up my love of Lugers, other German military pistols, and accessories. Fast forward to my early 30's, I am looking to get back into collecting (seriously) and hopefully becoming reacquainted with some old friends from the forum (as well as making new ones). Well, that's all for now. Look forward to talking to you all soon! -Brandon |

Brandon, welcome back. A poll done on here not too terribly long ago showed that there are not as many members on here are in the younger age brackets as we might like there to be, so your return is a most welcome sight. Do keep a lookout on here for some for deals on your collecting interests, I’ve gotten plenty of help and a good start being on here in just over a year, and the guys are a friendly bunch.

Welcome back Brandon... I remember you well... Your photo as a 14 year old seems to have disappeared... how about posting a new selfie!

I'm glad to see the 14 year old photo has disappeared...too bad some of my old posts couldn't have went with it. I'll see what I can do about an updated photo. -Brandon |

And you really haven't changed that much either... aged maybe... but so have we all.

Welcome home.
We've recently published a Luger FAQ document that you'll enjoy. Follow the FAQ links at the top of every forum page. BTW, the trick is to grow older without aging... Cheers!

Brandon were are you located now? Are you still in Tennessee (as I recall)?
Are you still USSS? or moved on to a new adventure?
