Spent most of my working life as a pipefitter/welder traveling around the country working. People in the towns we went into called us roadtrash because of this. At first it was an insult but after a while we all came to embrace the name and in fact be proud of it.

Do I really need to?
I really could not think of another one at the time... I will probably have to change it to something more generic...
(planning on acquiring a rifle or shotgun within a year or sooner if things get worse...)

I started visiting the forum several years ago, and the night I decided to join I figured I was the new guy. I tried that and it was taken so I tried Nuguy and it took.
College nickname.
The Big D was my college nickname. When Maryland MVA announced in the early 1970's that personalized plates would be available, my pal and I drove to Glen Burnie MVA to be first in line for our choices. (Only one MVA office in the whole state then.)
No one had claimed 'BIG D' so I got it...after successfully auditioning. (Could not include 'The'; too many characters for the plates.)
Still have the plates; you will see a new photo in the foreseeable future.
Be safe.

If I have to 'splain it to you, you'll never develop analytical thinking powers on your own.

I can believe it.I used to collect WWI and WWII German Militaria--and I had one that is like yours--but ws marked to the first Gebirgsjager Division. I used to collect items related to that Mountain infantry Division.Now--all I have are a few pair of officers shouderboards with regiments--ninety-eight, ninetynine and one hundred cyphers on them. Oh and,a grouping of original photos taken by the commanding officer of the seventy-ninth Gebirgs Artillery Regiment--which was the Artillery regiment that was in the first GJ division. I also have ooops--sorry I got off on a rant about the first Div.
Anyway,I used to have that item but--was too big to keep in the collection--so sold it off about five years ago.Each trooper was issued with two of these.
I could say I remember that brand but how could I?

It's pretty easy to figure out, but, of course, there's a story.
Right now I have an 8 3/8s barrel Model 57, and a Model 57-5 Mountain Gun.
The long barreled one I mostly hunt deer with - I've owned this gun since new back in 1980. It has a Leupold 2X scope in a TSOB mount put on by Mag-Na-Port. They also numbered the cylinders for me and added a third locking detent in the yoke, so I have "triple lock" as well as porting the barrel with their famous process. Very accurate, I usually try to shoot at 100 yards. Some ranges won't allow a handgun on their rifle range, so I have to shoot at 50 yards.
I was forced to sell a Model 57-1 6" that I had taken apart and smoothed out the trigger an polished the grooves off the trigger, and a Model 57 4" that had been Mag-Na-Ported.
I recently added the Mountain Gun and think I'm in the right spot now.

J S Bach dedicated all works, both secular and sacred, with this inscription. And he was a Lutheran of Lutherans, in fact lived near Luther"s home for a time. So..you were so close and yet so far on your attribution of my quote [emoji1] I'm glad you like it anyway.I like your signature.. Sounds like something Calvin would say...
Amen!
Bach said many things I like to quote.
