How did you get your handle or user name?

My first and middle initials and last name…

I’m neither a doctor (md) nor do I hail from the midwest as some people seem to believe :D
 
Nothing special, my true name (as so many with same name) plus - my hobby, makes my nick on the forum
 
Mine was just sort of an afterthought, because back when I joined, the screen name, “Aardvark”, was already taken by someone.
But soon thereafter, that person promptly disappeared from the forum.

I am fond of antique firearms.
The Velo Dog revolver and all of its variants are somewhat collectible.
The full model designation was “Velocipede Anti-Dog”.
“Velocipede” was what bicycles were called well over 100 years ago.
Cars were not invented yet or if they were, they were at the least, not very common.
Bicycles however, were very common and stray dogs (including mean ones) were also very common, in large European cities back in those days.

That said, I sadly have never owned one of those tiny revolvers.

Beginning in the first grade of elementary school, the other children began calling me “Aardvark”, due to my last name being Ard.
That monicker has stayed with me to this day, amongst my friends.
By now I’ve become accustomed to “Velo Dog” here within the AH forum and so, that’s all there is to that.

Blah blah blah Zzzzzzz.:ROFLMAO:

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
