Title: A quick hello
Post by: mrerick on August 27, 2018, 06:51:08 PM

Hi,
I've just joined this forum, and want to introduce myself.
I'm a Mauser handgun collector with one or two Mauser action rifles too.
It was recently my pleasure to work with Mauro Baudino and Gerben van Vlimmeren as editor of the Paul Mauser book based on his archives:


http://www.paul-mauser-archive.com/book%20information.htm (http://www.paul-mauser-archive.com/book%20information.htm)


It's an interesting read, and complements the work done previously by Jon Speed and other Mauser historians.


In April, 2018, a day long symposium was held in Liege Belgium at the Belgium Weapons Museum discussing some of the new discoveries and other background found in the Paul Mauser personal archives.


Hosted by the Belgian Weapons Collector Association (https://bvvw.be/), videos of the event will become available soon online. They share interesting history and perspectives of Mauser - all based on archival documents.

Welcome to the Forum, Marc!  I have followed some of your work on GunBoards and look forward to your contributions here.  We are certainly not as big but growing (almost) every day.

Once again, WELCOME!
