How long have you collected, owned, or studied Lugers?

I've always been interested in guns, maybe because my father was in charge of an SOE/resistance operation in Norway 1943-45 and had quite a few guns. I have been collecting guns for more than 25 years now. I've had several Lugers over the years, I now have three. My most recent acquisition is a byf 42 Black Widow that my father or his brother picked off a German during the liberation of my country in May 1945. Apart from the Lugers I have quite a few WW2 guns, my core area of collecting is guns used by the Norwegian resistance, I have most of them now - and then some. To the extent I have any gems in my collection, they must be the US test Eagle and a Savage M1928 Thompson. I'm also quite fond of my BREN and Vickers machineguns.
