Yes, I'm a real Pepe. Actually a Grand Pepe. (No accents on my keyboard).
Got my first jack knife at 6YO. Got hooked and cut the same day. After about 35 years of dabbling, I concluded that there was no point to calling myself a collector. I couldn't decide on a theme and was too fickle to remain true to anything with an edge, regardless of its quality. I became a gatherer. At various times IML I've thinned out my assortment by giving away some as gifts for BD's or Christmas. There are a few w/family sentiment and will remain as part of my estate (the table covered w/shiney things surrounded by crows, picking and fighting.)
The remainder is up for grabs and ,depending on my mood, could go at any time.
A few days ago I purchased my first Dig/Cam. I'm still struggeling w/it. When I get it figured out I'll post some pics. Also gotta determine which forums/threads to use. Betcha I can get some help w/that? Eh?
There must be a Remington collector out there who's interested in a couple of folders I have. I'll try to get them pictured first. Be patient.
I've been surfing here for several weeks now and feel real comfortable.
Thanks. Pepe Ray

We have lots of folks here who collect the same way that you do.

And we have a couple of folks who really love old Remingtons.

We'll be watching...

Hello Pepe Ray;

It sure is nice of you to tell us all the truth right from the get go.

"no point to calling myself a collector" and "I became a gatherer"...

Yup pers that sound like a man that speeks the truth to me...

MM and I are pack rats too.

I hope you ask here for help and stop in every day....

Hello Pepe,

There's help with your photos here, as many are quite good.

And then there are others of us who might be better at thinning out your collection !

I have taken several pics of my 2 Remingtons. Because the light reflects in different ways depending on the angle that it strikes the reflective surfaces, I've altered the light angle and took several pics to show a maximum of the surfaces.
When I first decided to sell the knives, I coated them w/Sheath, a rust preventive by Birchwood-Casey. They have not been cleaned or polished to retain the patina.
Now I need instructions on how to post. They're on CD.
-----------------
Well-- I followed the instructions. Gotta go back to my software?? and reduce size by 60%+/-
Catch ya later, Pepe Ray

O.K., I've got some pics reduced to less than 2.0MB.
But I think I'll move to Advertisements Column as I can't find an appropriate place, IMHO.
