Police Luger Book--Announcement
 

A few weeks ago Ed Tinker invited me to write a book with him on Police Lugers. This seems like as good a time as any to announce that the book is underway.

We plan a volume which will cover Lugers in police service from the end of WWI into the 1950s. In addition to an extensive gallery of examples, the book will include a complete guide to identifying the markings commonly found on police Lugers, and the most current information on some little-known variations.

Publication will probably occur in a year.

Dwight,

Great idea. If you need any help with translations, documentation, etc.. just let me know.

Dwight you can sure put me down for a copy.

Gerben,

Thanks much for your enthusiasm and offer of support. Look for some emails soon.

--Dwight

Drats! Now everyone will have the knowledge, that it's taken some of 50 years to acquire. Look forward to seeing the results of your labors. TH

How much for the original manuscript?

I have been out of town, but knew that Dwight would be posting. Dwight and I have talked about this for a year or two, but really decided to go forward just a short while ago, since it was a subject we both have been interested in for years. From my point of view, the last 7 years, as my first interest in lugers was Weimar Police and their history.
