Hey Fred,
Your pistol looks pretty respectable to me. The "Bunny" background is somewhat questionable, but then I got to thinking (pretty dangerous for someone my age!)
I bought my first pistol here on the forum several months ago. Since then, my son and I have many times held the gun, dry fired it with snap caps, and imagined what stories it could tell after it was produced in 1917. We'll never know, but it sure makes for good conversations.
In a sense, your Luger is a time machine. It was issued to some nameless, faceless German soldier who obviously at some point in time had no further need for it, so it went to your father. Then to you. And from the looks of the "Bunnies," there'll be someone to own it after you.....
You have a keeper! Enjoy it!
Dave in TN.
