hello everyone , just signing in for my first post . I have been a collector and shooter for many years , but have just bought my first Luger .

I don't have it in my posession yet as it is an incredibly tedious process to acquire any firearm onto your license here in Australia .

One has to apply to the police for a permit to acquire each and every new gun , even if you have a license and several guns already .

Any way as a part of the process I have been studying it and learning about Lugers in general which has been fun and exciting .

It is a DWM dutch Luger apparently made in 1930 . I say apparently as a little conflicting information has come to light . More on this later . In the mean time I am reading "The Dutch Luger" by Martens & De Varies , an excellent work . I also have "the Luger story " and finally tracked down a copy of "Lugers at Random" at a good price in England !

So as you can see I am "Into it "

regards to all - you seem like a nice polite and knowledgable bunch of blokes -- like most gun people I know !
