I agree lovely grips, wooden grips are aestetically the most beautiful; as for the rest I'm a bit of a purist, some sort of "Luger Integralist"... I wouldn't really share all this appreciation about recent custom alterations...  Sergio

I agree that altering a collectible Luger is not an acceptable practice. But both the Martz gun and the one I have been working on are an accumulation of mis-matched and damaged parts that are assembled into a functioning custom gun. No history is being lost, it is just being recycled in a different format.

A 'member'
 at ARFCOM did a 'pocket' Luger back in 2004 for a raffle at American Handgunner. The thread is archived, but the pics are still online -Thor340 [Member] 2/23/2004 6:59:51 AM EDT This Luger will be raffled off next year in the American Handgunner. I finished it in the white and have sent it to Brian Powley engravers for a full engraving treatment. I have petitioned him to do it in a German Oak Leaf and Acorn pattern and I sure hope he will. I will rust blue it after he is done with the engraving. The gun was made from a shooter Luger by Neil Keller at Kustom Ballistics. Here are the websites and pictures. The barrel is 2 & 5/8" and in 9mm Luger (Para.) http://members.rennlist.com/lugerman...ugerD2EXIF.jpg http://members.rennlist.com/lugerman...ugerD1EXIF.jpg www.powleyengraving.com/ www.kustom-ballistics.com/ It may be on his site as well, I haven't checked it out in quite some time...
