-DWM related documentation. (sort of a luger sideline).
-Luger-related historical documentation in general.
-The Mercedes-Benz W126 1979-1991 S-class (own 7 ).

Just got this baby back from the painter:
1984 500SEC, 5.0 Liter V8 with black leather upholstery.


And this is how I bought it:
A gutted collision-damaged write-off. Missed the transmission and most of the interior. Front was damaged, side panels were damaged.

I like most anything with some history... Have started to pick up other weimar and imperial items.

I like old mustangs, have a 1966 Mustang, its sitting in the garage, needs new interior, and needs a new engine, that is because its sat for a long time, since I quit playing with it.

Hi Ed,

Actually owned an 1967 Mustang. Got me hooked on V8-engines and it all started to go wrong there Didn't like the 'roughness' of the Ford design and swapped to the German stuff. Was dead cheap when I started, not anymore...Nowadays a decent V8 S-class is just about as expensive a a decent 1965-68 Mustang.

Like lugers, they tend to grow in value

Mostly a Heckler and Koch collector. Although, lately I have branched to other German firearms.

Default collectors

Glad to see that I am not the only one w/more hobbies/collecting interests than good sense!!!!!!!! I have 2 aluminum front end factory built 1962 Pontiac drag race cars........still race them. In fact, I am just now rebuilding one of the engines that lost a head gasket last season (15 to 1 compression!!!!). Had 2 of the '63 1/2 Galaxie fastbacks w/4 speed and 427/425 hp high riser side oilers, and the first and second '63 Pontiac drag cars that had the Swiss cheesed frames, plexiglas windows and aluminum front end. Sold them too soon but managed to pay off my then new house (1984). I did keep the only aluminum frame GM ever made. I also have a bunch of wall & mantle clocks and pocket watches, and a small group of model airplanes that I havnt flown in many years. I do get to run my train layout as I get several father/son teams here to look at stuff. I have a 25 MM Pateau in my garage (I once thought all 2 car garages came w/an artillery piece) and a full size replica Gatling w/250 rnd Accles drum. We have a 400 hp, 16' water ski boat we still use. Also have a collection of tea sets and at one time I had a group of baby dolls.................You guys are all welcome to visit when in SE Ohio......... No machine gunners here????????? My wife dearly loves machine guns. We are going to shoot at Marietta, Ohio on the 16th of June. Machine gun guys always shoot their guns where most Luger guys dont. Guns occasionally break and I have broken a few $30,000. machine guns........

Oh well, I'll fess up,

I think I was a born collector,

Luger Pistols
other WWII era German handguns, P-38, ppk, pp etc. (only a few, mostly type collecting)
Vintage cars, although I am down to one 66 mustang fastback
Vintage pin-ups, especially Vargas but I include others, Petty, Elvgren, DeVores, Armstrong, Aslan, etc.
Die cast automobile models
A few knives, WWII FS Commando knives, some folders.

Those are the active things right now, I expect that these will change over the years, but I do hate to let anything go. I usually just add more!

Heck yes... P. J. ...

I have a profound addiction to registered transferable NFA firearms; MGs, SBRs, SBSs & DDs.
My latest acquisition is a DLO/Andrewski Sterling MK4 smg with the black crackle finish. It's a work of ART!!!!
I love all types of firearms & collect everything from Lugers to M16s!

These items are rapidly being priced out of reach & you always hear the admonitions... Are you crazy? ...You actually RISK shooting those things?

Might have to get together & burn up a few mags!!!!!

SIGH!!
I used to have this *BIG HUGE* Lionel train set when I was a kid. My dad had a new set of brass wheels made for it. Whatta monster it was. It wound up being part of a latter real estate deal & went pOoF. I was heart broken... forever RUINED!
lol

I collect electric guitars with my main focus on Les Pauls & Strats.
NO talent... but it's a lot of fun anywaze.


Of course, I NEVER ever drag race, but I do have a mint '98 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 that is slightly modded & will do 0 - 60's in the low 4's!
