At least, I could add another Brazilian Luger to my database.

Some people might think of 14 as a boat load. I do. But, I spoke with a man from that shop the other day. They have some that they haven't put up on the site yet. I asked him to not put wrong and misleading info on the items. He said the info is as provided by the seller. He is the designated Lugerman in their shop but doesn't claim to know much about Lugers. He will personally inspect any gun to try to answer questions and make clarifications.

I purchased the Navy shown in my avatar. We had some issues which were addressed and had to overcome related to overstatement of quality. Money took care of the difference.
thanks

P.S. I had started out with a price less than advertised and then bargained for a rebate.

I wish I had money .

In relation to thread # 3 can anyone share what is in the Costanzo "World of Lugers" on the 1906 Navy?
I don't have that book.
thanks
Jack

Hi Jack, A number of people have attempted to list all the surviving Imperial Navy Lugers, the first to do so was Pat Redmond in 1975. Sam Costanzo reprinted this list, with a few additions in "World of Lugers", published in 1977. In later years the list was updated by other individuals, most notably Leo Lavallee. I've been maintaining, and adding to, this list since 2009. In some ways we all stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before.
Regards, Norm

Norme, how is Leo... I don't think we have heard from him for a while?
