This was a referral from one of us! Every warplane ever! http://www.pacificaviationmuseum.org...ut-dive-bomber Thank You~~~

To me i'ts a bit ike comparing apples to oranges, one is a marvel of mechanical sort of thing, nice to collect and keep as a safe queen, the other after more than a century is still on the field (and I still use it every single week at the range!) ;)

Finally an article about DWM~~~http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Deutsche_...itionsfabriken

Fred Datig and the Luger Bible~I'm posting Fred's article written in the fifties, He himself and Harry Jones in his book a few years later put a validity to collecting lugers. Before lugers were often seen as nothing but bring backs from a war many chose to forget. Charles Kenyan in the sixties wrote a red book, Lugers at Random and opened our eyes to so many variations and rarety fueling a new generation of collectors. The reason some collectors had such vast colections is there was no guage of value, variations or rarety at the time~ What are a thousands today were mere hundreds. For decades there were only 4 books on which to depend beside these 2. Jan saw the need putting a face and history all 11,346 pages in four books. He provided not only a written history but a story with hundreds of pictures and tables bringing it all together! I personally would like to thank Jan on behalf of myself his contribution to all our lives! There is coming another generation who will depend on books and articles written. People began to look at what their dads hid away in closets and under the bed. Make sure you know what you have. Our forum is a median to post and ask!~ You must read Fred's article. Only then will you honestly understand luger beauty. http://www.gundigest.com/gun-digest-...thelugerpistol

Sergio, can you put me in your will? Eric

Sergio I took a look at the post war transportation in Italy. These scooters seem perfect for getting around most traffic and and city streets. Does everyone own one? I don't know anyone here in Florida who even rides one! Does Italy Require a helmet? http://www.transitionsabroad.com/lis...in-italy.shtml

Not in the woods!

There is great 4-wheeling footage in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. Reminds me of some trail rides!

Dave the Italians love them. Your right off road would not work well~http://www.vespa.com/en/heritage

Thank You Dave, I found this which is more realistic~http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...buy-right-now/

You're right, in this season during the harvest it was quite amusing to be able to go up and down the vineyards.

First time in to fire a luger inn over 15 years. It is a raare ]1914 DWM artillery #1263! I purchased it from George Anderson earlier this year. Amazing! What power and accuracy! I used almost a whole white box Winchester. Perfect ad accurate with over 90 rounds fired. Now I understand the excitement. Dead On Deadly!! Thank You George!!

Beautiful!

Eric,

First off congratulations indeed for your beautiful LUGER, excellent choice.
I can quite understand your excitment, shooting such a beauty must have been a sheer pleasure for you, but I bet you were also a bit worried not to break any parts of it.

Congratulations again dear friend, and have a nice Sunday.
