You lucky guys over in the US has so much to choose from, having these pistols as a hobby, it's quite natural that the ones picked up is taken from the top shelf. When it comes to Lugers, this shelf has a great variation to pick from. That's what makes it all so interesting (and costly) I guess!
Most people would not understand why we go trough all the numbers in an almost autistic way and looking at it's apperance as if we where working for CSI. Naturally we drag this way to far, a classic sign of Lugeritmis. After all, it's not jewlery but old wartime pistols.. (even if the expense of the hobby might indicate othervice). But it's a beautiful fact that not everything has to make sense in the world, wipeing the dust of thousands Pez dispensers is someone elses cup of coffee.
The prefereces and expectations to a Luger is individual.. but the day non-matching or reblued Lugers are worthless, I think it's time to get into another area of collecting instead.
have fun,
Steinar (the blabbering norwegian)
