Thanks much, very interesting. Mine is not a set with a rig but at least I have an idea of what that migh go for. Mine is much more modist I think.
The historical information was interesting. I do wonder,and it is only conjecture on my part, but this line about Lugers being issued to "German Officers" often makes me scratch my head. I got the general impression in my previous days that Officers, at least field grade, disdained the Luger (yes I know about the picture of a Generaloberst Gruderian with a Luger; Still p111) in favor of smaller sidearms like PPks etc. I have heard so many stories over the last 50 years about capturing a Luger from an Officer that it just makes me wonder. I know the Air force was different (they always are) but the historical account you posted just perked my ears again.... lOL Nothing negative in that, just a muse. Thanks for your time and the post.
