I am an American, now living in the Netherlands since 2001- grew up with firearms (strictly for hunting or target) and learned gun safety at a very young age.
I was a firearms instructor while teaching in the US in the early 80's. I have always been interested in WWI and WWII firearms and history- living so close to where much of the fighting took place is fascinating! Seeing the Point du Hoc cliffs and the Belgian Ardennes surrounding Bastogne... talking to the people who live there... one of my main interests now is keeping history alive for the next generation.....
Hope to get to know some of you... am now outfitting my hobby room to house a firearms collection- am hoping to find a classic M1 Garand....
