Whenever I search Ebay, my searchword is 'Luger'. To avoid the return of any Lex Luger or toy gun listings, my search entry looks like this: luger -(lex) -(toy) -(wcw) -(wwf) -(miniature) -(boat) -(airsoft) -(toys)</strong><hr></blockquote>

Wes, I, too, use only "Luger" to search ebay but I limit my search to the "Militaria" section and have few "hits" that are of the sort you are trying to avoid. My question for you is, do you find many Luger items outside of the "Militaria" section?
