Hey Ed,

From one oldtimer to another, drink better whisky!

Having said that, the Portuguese were early and enthusiastic and consistent adherents of the Luger, They started with the '06, and went through about 3 variants of that; then went to the Mauser 1934/06, then went to the 1943 version.

I gotta say, the 1934/06 GNR, with that massive crest inscribed on the chamber and that elegant tapered barrel, along with the wonderful saddle leather holster...well, for my money, its in the top ten for elegance.

My zwei pfennig, after having sold a lovely rig recently.
