Hi Again Chuck,

As far as books go, buy them ALL. You can never have too much knowledge. Follow the forum thread on the Sam Costanzo controversy...all of the books are good, none I have yet encountered were without some flaw or mistake-they are after all the product of human endeavor-and, you can own a complete library of just about everything in English on the toggle top for about the price of a midgrade pistol.

I have been playing with lugers for over 40 years now, and it is seldom that a week goes by and I do not learn something new. This forum is a good place to monitor for info and some real expertise is available just for the asking and you can't beat the price.

Also, I strongly suggest you join NAPCA; their monthly pub, Automag, is a newsletter that is a gold mine of information from bona fide experts in self loading pistols of all flavors. A great deal on Lugers, not surprisingly.

My 2 cents (zwei pfennig)

Tom

FWIW, I used to fly into Fliegerhorst regularly in the early 70s for SFTS training; I was at EDOR, Coleman; later in K-town and following that ran a company that was dual based in Hanau and Idar-Oberstein.
