Introduction
 

Gents,

I thought I would introduce myself to the group. I just found your website the other day and signed up. I have only just started trying to educate myself about a possible future purchase of a Luger.

The short story is my son, 17, has always been fasinated with WWII ever since he was little and I've endulged him a bit, mostly through the CMP. He's saved his money for a K98 and is working toward a Enfield at the moment, and has always talked about a Luger.

Anyway, if nothing changes too much I thought maybe that could be a nice Highschool graduation present if he continues on his present course and doesn't go all stupid in the next year.

I'll probably just be a lurker, trying to learn as much as I can in order to make an informed purchase, but wanted to say 'hello'.

Welcome aboard Robb. I have learned a lot over the past couple of years just listening (okay, reading). There are a lot of people on this forum that have vast knowledge about Lugers. There is a good group on here also that know how to refurbish the whole pistol or just specialized parts. You can also find Luger parts and accessories here. It's a great place.

Robb,
You will find these are some of the most informative and knowledgable guys around. They are a tremendous help to novice such as you and I. I seem to learn a little more ever day just reading the post.

Robb, Welcome to you and your son to the forum.

This forum is international in it's membership and the depth of information available from members is, frankly, astounding.

It's a most constructive community and you'll find answers here that are not available anywhere else.

It's great to hear of a young man with a serious interest in this history, and wonderful that you can do these things to encourage it.

Again... Welcome!

welcome Robb.this is the place to learn about lugers.I'm new here myself.an already I've gotten 2 lugers off this forum at very fair prices.see fun at the range for pic's of me and my wife with our lugers..read and learn and ask question lots of great people on here to help you.crazywolf

Welcome! I also am new to the Luger world, and just acquired my first Luger recently. Having to start from ground zero in the Luger world is a daunting task, but the tremendous knowledge and camaraderie of this forum is a HUGE help. Rubbing (virtua) shoulders with the experts who LITERALLY wrote the book(s) on all things Luger is a inspirational thing. I know your time here will be as valuable to you as mine has been!

Welcome to the forum Robb.

Welcome to the forum to you and your son!

Welcome Robb. I believe that you will find this forum informative and friendly.....a great combination in my way of thinking.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
There's alot of information to try to absorb here, I'm glad I found this site. If it actually does come to pass, hopefully I can make an informed decision on a purchase.
