I have always had an interest in the sleekness of the Luger design and later a great interest in World War I (I have, to be honest, little to no interested in World War II funny enough). It's my goal to one day save up enough to get a British proofed Luger (just for the sheer amusement value and to combine my love of British WWI pistols and German WWI pistols).
