Herb, I've seen one Luger that I wish could talk. A friend of mine once handed me a brown Luger holster with maybe 6 or 8 small holes in the cover and body. Most were of the size that a large sewing needle would make and penetrated at an angle. When the holster was opened, the Luger inside had rips in the metal of the back strap and wood of the grips that matched the holster holes precisely. Unless someone went to a lot of trouble to fabricate the whole thing - and damage an otherwise very nice Luger - the holster and pistol had been struck by shell splinters. I don't know if the friend still has it or not but I'll ask the next time I talk to him. A very interesting pistol and holster.
