but I have always loved the Luger, and the first chance I got I bought one... I'm not a collector, and my choice was a sad one, but I got it fixed up (thanks to Ted - see Luger of the Month) and now it is just so special to me. When I hold it and shoot it, I think... how many other soldiers held this very same gun, how many shot it just like I do, how many enemies did it kill and where? In 83 years it saw a lot of history, and while it may not have collector value as Kyrie and others so accurately point out, it surely has history, stamped all over it, and that can never be taken away, and I don't think I'll willingly part with it.
