Hi All:

I was there in 1973!!!

I only lived about 40 minutes away, on the other side of Washington,D.C. in the Maryland suburbs.

I use to love hanging around the Interarms show room at Hunter's Haven, at Zero Prince Street in Alexandria, Va.

My Dad bought me my first Mauser rifle there in late 1967. It was a 1934 "Standard Model" '98 with a totally shot out and rotted out barrel, later transformed into a blistering .338 Winchester Magnum for me by him.

Back to Lugers...there were some adds for Surplus German Army Lugers as late as 1969 or so by Interarms. By then, though, importing surplus goodies had been outlawed by our loving federal Government (if I have the year right).

Oh well, collecting today is much easier and I can actually afford it!!

Ha!!!
