I wanted to share with you my 4 lugers that I have accumulated over the last 6 months. This is the extent of my collection. I have not as yet focused on a particular area to collect, these were the result of various opportunities and itches that had to be scratched.
From top to bottom, 1917 Artillery I purchased from a relative of a vet. It has the grip chip that almost kept me from the purchase.
My ugly Betty, a 1940 42 mis-match. This was purchased from the vet himself. Says he got it off a prisoner in 1945. His memory was not the best however. It shoots great, except for the safety which will not stay put.
My 1936 S42 re-blue, mostly matching incl mag. This was my first purchase and I payed too much but I wanted a good looking Luger to learn as much as I could.
1900 AE Test. I will leave the analysis to you experts as a quiz to see if you accurately analyze the gun. As soon as possible, I will enter each gun in its proper section on the forum. That may take a few days and I look forward to your analysis. I have learned so much by just reading your posts and all the books I have and in the communications I have had with a few of you. Thanks for your help.
