What was your first Luger?/ What got you into collecting Lugers?

Bought my 1st from an ad in some gun magazine back in 1956. Think it was @25.00 and had it re blued by the best gun man in Erie Pa at the time. Everybody liked it Of course because it was a "Luger" About 20 years ago a nephew ask if I still had it - I said if he needed it I would give it to him. About 10 years ago I started getting into guns again and of course lugers came to mind. Looking around on the computer did the trick and of course this site and a few books later I got around and wanted to look at the old luger. I ask and he said that he had sold it for $800.00 some time back. All I wanted to do was see what I had bought way back when. He said that the numbers matched and someone had told that there was something special about it but he could not remember what it was...So much for my 1st luger.....
