Hello,
I've been lurking here for a while, and thought I'd take the plunge. I was fortunate to have a father who loved german guns and passed on a few to me. While I'd much rather have dad back, taking his guns out in the field and to the range always brings a smile to my face.
Here's a couple of recent purchases as well as some of dad's collection:
1970's Mauser made Luger in 9mm:

1936 Vintage Greifelt O/U in 12 gauge

One of Dad's Drillings in 16x16x8mm JR. It's proofed from Jan 1931 near as I can tell, but no maker or marketers name appears on it.

A Mauser 98 that's been extensively messed with in 35 Whelen & what I believe is a Haenel made 1888 Commission rifle w/ the full stock in 8mm Mauser JI

Not pictured is a J.P. Sauer & Sohn sidelock drilling in 12/12/9.3x74R that needs some love from a smith to get it back on face.
