I owned three Beretta, two 98 and one "Steel" that was surely the best. Nonetheless I never managed to get accustomed to their thick grips.

Sergio, How strict are the gun control over there?

Laws are strict, but I would say without exagerations. I mean with a Gun Licence you can own 3 ordinary firearms, and 6 "sportive" ones (there is a list of them) and no limits of "hunting rifles".
Just for a quick example a 1911 with fixed rear sight is considered "ordinary", while a 1911 with adjustable rear sight is considered "sportive".

I just noticed another section of firearms~~http://www.landofborchardt.com/misc.html

Sergio compared to country like England and Ireland, Italy sounds fine! Do those restrictions apply to a person or family?

Apply to a person that is or is not entitled to have a firearm.
Then there are the so called "collection licences" that enable a person to own a certain number of firearms one o a kind though so for example you can't have two firearms of the same model.
Of course no comparison to the UK, although as usual the Brits try to rule Europe and now they're doing pressures so that gun laws get more restricted also on the continent.

Thank You My Friend. Everyday I am reminded how a single written document written centurys before and upon ALL are governed have guarenteed our rights!!! Except for some democrats who try to rule between the lines~ God Bless Us All!

A very fine article on the Weimer Lugers! http://oldmilitarymarkings.com/police_unit_marks.html

I purchased "Luger, Holster And Accessories" from Legacy who dropped their price to $99. I have many questions regarding holsters for early lugers like the 1902 Fat Barrel or my 1906 French contract. What filled the gap between the Test Luger holster through 1908 commercial. I noted there where hundreds of holster makers. Who set the standards! Krieghoff holsters are uniform and beautiful! Lugers and their accessories never grow old! ~Eric

Congrats on your acquisition of such a fine book!
Have a nice week end.

Thank You My Friend!!!!

Is there any way to determine whether a luger magazine came from D.W.M. or Erfurt or any other info?

I just want to repost Clarks' research regarding a topic dear to us all! http://testluger.com/?author=1

Eric,

I find Bannerman and his castle most intriguing. Too bad the place is not in such good shape these days. I've always found abandoned buildings fascinating. Here's a link to Boldt Castle, which is close to where I grew up. Originally, it was never completed--the owner's wife died, and he had been building it for her. The state preservation folks have been at work stabilizing what was there, and moving forward with construction to complete selected areas of the place, most notably the stained glass work above the grand stairwell. As a proposed subcontractor of a colleague who works in stained glass, I put in a bid for completing the steel framework to hold the glass panels, but another company entirely was selected to do the work. http://www.boldtcastle.com/visitorinfo/

What a beauty!! You are lucky to live upstate, There is so much history. I did spend some time in Ithaca and the finger lakes. Did you make Woodstock??
