Thanks guys,
You answered all of my concerns. I have decided to purchase the 7.65 mm luger and keep it as a collector piece because the very sharp photo images indicate it is in a near pristine condition. I will also continue to look for a 9 mm "shooter" that can pass an inspection by a gun smith well versed in the P 08 Lugers. Over the decades I have acquired hand guns, rifles and shotguns that are fine representatives of both the military and civilian firearms. This is my first foray into the world of the Lugers. I don't think that there is another type of handgun that points as well as the elegant Luger. Never the less, I would rather bet my life on the 1911A1 when push come to shove. Actually, for close range self defense nothing beats a the Winchester Model 12. Did you notice the model numbers? P 08, 1911A1, Model 1912; I guess I'm just an old fashioned kind of guy!
