Rottenweilers

Rod WMG · 07-14-2005, 03:35 AM

I noticed in the 1924 Pacific Arms catalog (which I can't find anymore) that a powder named "Rottweiler" which showed up very well in both 7.65 mm and 9mm Lugers.

Does anyone know anything about this powder? Was it German?

tac, I suppose whoever composed the catalog didn't know about the "er" because they listed the loads with it that way. At any rate, it showed up very well, if the figures are accurate.

I'm familiar with the RWS company because of the slugs and a couple of other items. Would expect good stuff from them.

Would you grant me permission to post your reply on another board or would I have to outrun your rottie?

Thanks very much for the info.

tac, I took no offense at all. I really appreciated it. I was a high school teacher at one time myself.

My recent purchases preclude any donations.

Ed, thanks for merging the threads. When I read the "rotten" part I was baffled; I didn't think I'd made that mistake, though I've made a lot lately.

It's been a whole lot of years since I spoke German but I seem to recall that a noun that ended in ER denoted that it was a masculine noun. The hard part in learning German is trying to figure out just what a noun was supposed to be, nearly everythin is either femine or masculine which is strange to an english speaker as about the only thing we do that with is something like 'she is a good ship'. Then Rottweiler would be correct in this instance. Imagine saying 'put the beer in him' indicating the refrigerator, lol.

This should help a little to understand language differences--

G. van Vlimmeren, thanks for posting the ad. Though I couldn't deipher all of it, I did get some. Very helpful.

Herb, I speak fluent hick. And I'm recognizable as one immediately when I speak. Ah'm a Wes Texiz boy who can start a far by rubbin too boy scoutz together. Jew here me?

However, I'll bet a lot of guys here will enjoy that. It's very good and more complete than several I've seen.

Ja, Herr Tac, das ist klur

Didn't Kennedy state in Berlin that he was a small cake?

'Ich bin ein Berliner', where a Berliner is actually some kind of local cake or treat?

I think the Rottweiler Pulverfabriken cheated, calling themselves 'Rottweiler' and having a factory in Berlin.

Rod WMG · 07-16-2005, 03:12 PM

Well, they cheered him like crazy Rottenweilers for that statement anyway! Could be they just loved jelly doughnuts.

Tac, we took that photo in March. Now they are baking their brains out, maybe 35 C in the shade. Fun place this Pittsbugh. They are celebrating the whiskey rebellion this weekend! 210th anniversary I think.
