Pimpin out a luger

The girl under the grip is his kid sister who was likely 15 or 16 in the photo. At the time my father had no sweetheart, girlfriend or wife. Though just before he shipped home, I think he had a French girlfriend or two.

One nice thing about those grips is that you can find the luger in a dark room without turning on the lights. The fact that your dad made them, makes them priceless I would think. They are a good conversation piece.

Yes, finding it in the dark is a vital requirement for a "pimpen" Luger. Owners of such Lugers who are still working "in the business" overwhelmingly prefer light grips for that reason, or so I'm told.
