How Many Cartridge Counters Left? (more)
 

I finally own an original Cartridge Counter. Yipee!

Now, who wants my address? (just kidding).

I would like to do some research into the remaining counters or any other research beyond what Blue Book has or Lugers at Random has.

If you know anything about this gun please post or email me (run4ever_cow@yahoo.com). Or if you know of on-line or written sources for more information about this gun please let me know.

And, I dont want to sell it. It's a keeper as they say.

Also, if you have any suggestions as to how to tell my wife what I spent on the gun I would like that too. To buy the gun I sold guns I already owned so I didnt use any of our family money to buy it. She thinks it was $10 - $20k.

Like the 1900 US Test Trial Lugers, I have been tracking Cartridge Counter Lugers over the years. I have recorded observations for all but nine of the original 50 pieces, plus one prototype 10000B-series example with Cartridge Counter grips and magazines. Unfortunately, some of the serial numbers have appeared on more than one Luger, so fakes abound. Send me an e-mail to rwood1@elp.rr.com if you want to discuss this some more off line. I will need to know the serial number of your gun to see if it is on my list or one of the missing ones.

As to what to tell the wife, I would suggest the truth at the earliest opportunity, preferably after a nice dinner and night out accompanied by a small but thoughtful gift for putting up with your addiction. Best of luck.

Ditto on the truth... :)

Would you care to share some photos of your new acquisition?
