Ralph Shattuck

I ve just bought 2 Lugers from Ralph, and I would like to say that I have never met a more friendly, honest, and down to earth guy. I got a S/42 all matching collector quality and a 1916 Erfurt all matching that could have been sold as collector quality but Ralph sold at a shooter price. I hope all the people I meet in this new hobby are as good a guy as Mr. Shattuck, I will do my best to add what I can to this forum and hope to meet some of the rest of you. Peter Sullivan

Hi Peter,
Welcome to the forum. Can you post photos? Gotta get yer feet wet!!
BTW, I'm the only nice guy you'll meet here. The rest of these guys are all a bunch of cumudgeons. Except for the ones that are just plain crotchity.

Hello Ron, I will give it my wifes' best shot (she is more technically advanced than I), but of course it must wait until after the Eagles game. Talk to you soon - Pete

Pete, welcome.

Don't believe Ron, he's a jerk

Lots of nice guys here (Ron Smith too), and yes, Ralph is a nice guy to talk to, I have spent a bit of time with him also.

Welcome Pete! Although I have never bought a pistol from Ralph I have bought other small things. I think he is a nice guy and kind to the beginner. Ron on the other hand is very perceptive!

Ron Smith · 01-16-2005, 11:12 PM

SEE ED, Heinz agrees with me. And that's MR Jerk, if you don't mind.

I never trusted those flyboys (check Rons hat). I always thought that they were sorta flighty. (hee! hee!) Me? I like something thats wrapped in good old American aluminum. That makes me a "can do" sorta guy. (Hah! Hah!)
