    Mighty impressive! But a sad story of addiction, everyone knows they can give it up at any time, don't they.....

    Just say NO, oh alright then just one more.

    I've seen a collection of SIG 210 pistols and Lugers, about 200. Each Sig puppy was a grand and the Lugers half that.

    What would be interesting is what he was missing.

    There are a couple of British airgun collectors with 500 plus too.

    The Enfield Patent Room arms collection is the big daddy of them all and we all own a bit; well we do until this Government finds out it can sell it off.

    I met a British collector recently who has 300+ airguns and I thought he had a bad case of collectoritis.

    Great sign in the mobile museum to reassure the public:

    "THESE ARE NOT FIREARMS, NOR ARE THEY WEAPONS.

    THEY WORK OFF THE AIR YOU'RE BREATHING"

    Hey, no one tell Paddy about the "This Museum is for sale" sign in one of the pics. It's for his own good....

    Fair play to him I say , (in an envious voice).

    Hi Steve! To be honest, ever since I went over to the Dark Side, my airgun collection has grown very little. I do have some very nice BIG toys now that my local firearms licensing dept. has given me clearance for centrefires...

    Well, I don't suppose your collection needs much more growing does it?

    Bet you have your FEO on speed dial.

    Anyone know if Cecil has his own website, or where he's based? I have a couple of weeks working in the US coming up and a weekend kicking my heels......
