Not my father's Luger but I'm very happy

Ross,

I think you did fine for your first Luger. I'm with Marc: do not shoot it, as any accident will destroy its value as a collectable item. Go after a vintage holster, tool and another magazine and then you'll have a nice rig to go with your nice collection ofmedals.

You can have a "shooter" quality pistol easy, and can take it to the range without any regret or concern.

I used to collect militaria (mainly WWI medal bars) but I gave up most of it to focus on pre-1945 firearms. You can't have everything, can you? If you are talking about the German fighter ace Wilhelm Frankl (the only Jewish to win the Pour Le Merite) then you have a suberb item.

All the best and welcome to the forum.

Douglas
