Thanks, Alf! I'm always trying to improve details for display and recently added the shelves. My thought was to make some of the standard "Luger Stands" and set them all on the shelf. I'll keep you posted on how that comes out...

I can vouch for Steve's method of supporting his guns with a rod in the barrel. There are several variations of this, I do recommend coating them with rubber or at least putting electrical tape on the rods to prevent scraping.

Yup, that's what I do. First I cut them down to size and wrap them in electrical tape. Then I dip them with some "Dip-It", the rubber coating stuff found in hardware stores. That seems to protect the barrels nicely.

Well, there is one I fondled every night through Christmas season; an early 1900 with an inscription on the side in German of "Merry Christmas 1903", and the recipient's name.
It was hot salt reblued in 03 after the inscription was done, and the temps caused the whole gun to turn plum colored.
It is charming, my purple Christmas Luger.
I love it a lot and it speaks to me.
