It's been a while since I owned a German car, but I dearly love my German shotguns. Took a trip to Ottsville a while back to pick up my skeet gun which was in for a little project. Had .410 barrels fitted so I could have one exactly like Linda's. I can feel the time coming when the .410 will be the only thing I can handle. Last German car in the family was one of those "seller's remorse" things. Linda and I helped her aunt sell her one owner '55 Speedster. Linda told me the only way I could have it was to clear out some shotguns. In retaliation, and to avoid selling any shotguns, I offered it to a friend and fellow PGCA member who had the Speedster's mate in a different color. His wife gave him the same Catch 22 ultimatum and we ended up selling the little gem to a stranger for about a fifth of its value. In retrospect, I probably could have sold it right on this website in about twenty minutes.

Ich bbin mit dem spaten J. O'Connor (einen gebruden Iren, Ja?) einverstanden, sind Deutsche hergestellte Schrotflinten formlos, zu viele Springenhirsche und das cheekpiece- aber groBe Gewehr K98, das von Herrn P.P. Mauser, erfunden wird, dass Schraubbolzentatigkeit ein Weltkategorienentwurf, der noch aushalt, dennoch heute ist!

Wie nach ihren Autos, die errichtet wurden, um fur immer zu laufen und mit einem Autobahn fur eine Testschiene, konnte wer um mehr bitten?

I grew up with a German housekeeper, worked as a live-in in Cinci for my Grandmother Edith- Frau Hilda Stupphnagel-- and so I aced HS German--Milwaukee, WI and Cinci OH- two large cities with high % of Germans, still kept teaching German in the schools in spite of the WWI and Lusitania affair- Ach Klaven!!-

I also agree with the late Jack O'Connor- in that many German shotguns are amorphous (bulky) and over done with carved leaping stags and cheekpieces-- But as to the great K98 rifle designed by Peter Paul Mauser that action is still considered to be worldclass in its design--

And as for the Autos, well when we consider that Germany has the Autobahn for its test track, well who could ask for anything better??
