My Learning Library Is Growing...
 

With good advice from many Forum members, I have been slowly building up my luger reference library.

Ok, if you look real close you will see a couple of P-38 books, as well...

The nice color poster I picked up from a fellow at the Tulsa Gun Show...did not get his name unfortunately...but I think Ralph Shattuck may know him...

Pete, Nice poster. you have quite a few good books too. Last winter I picked up The Krieghoff parabellum and just finished reading the Dutch Luger history. I have been collecting for awhile now but both of these books showed me a few things I had not managed to learn. I highly recomend both of these. While you are not likely to run into too many Dutch Lugers it is still fun to learn their history. Jerry Burney

Nice spread Pete!
Could you possibly list the titles from left to right?
