So is there a reason to have Jan Still's "Imperial Lugers" as addition to "The Borchardt & .." ? Will I find in it what I can't in Simpsons book?

Jan Still's book is an interesting and very well organized work with first class photography although much is black and white. I frequently look at mine.

It is well worth owning both. The information in Still's books is organized well and, depending upon what you are looking for, can be easier to find than in Gortz & Sturgess.

You can't have too many Luger reference books... period.

Just received today my signed copy of "Navy Luger 1904 to 1940" by Dave Molchen. Excellent book and highly recommend.

I've just joined the luger forum and was browsing through it. I saw your comment concerning Imperial Navy Lugers above and I too am interested in Navy lugers and have only a Navy type luger (1920) that must have been put together from left over parts after WWI ended. Sad to say it has been refinished but very well done . There is a photo of a 1920's Navy type luger in the book "Lugers at Random" that appears very much like the one I have. Mine has the name "GERMANY" stamped on the right side of the receiver. It is a very accurate luger with an original Artillery luger shoulder stock atteched.

Using a non-Navy shoulder stock with a Navy Luger creates an unlawful SBR, which is frowned upon by the BATFE. Shoulder stock use is only exempt from the prohibition when pairing stocks with guns in originally-issued/historical configurations.

Lugers at Random
 

Has anyone of you seen the book "Lugers at Random". My wife bought this book for a Christmas present in 1969. I don't know what it cost at the time but it is very informative and I'm sure it is way out of print now.

Lugers at Random has its share of mistakes so it’s not a book to rely heavily upon but it is good as a quick reference and has some good information. It was my first Luger book I bought for myself when I was a kid in middle school late 79 early 80.

Has anyone ever heard of the book "Lugers at Randum" ? I've found this to be a real informative book with a lot of good detailed pictures. I might be out dating myself by even mentioning the book since my wife bought the book for me as a Christmas gift in 1969. I still have it and refer to it often.

Jeb ---- Thanks for your quick reply.

Lugers at Random is seriously outdated and should not be used as serious reference anymore.
