I like Lugers, I like books. I have both Davis's Handbook and the little book on Shattuck Lugers.

I guess I too, must remark on the 'Emperor's New Clothes". The Shattuck book is small. The picture quality is poor.

I was hoping for a real catalog of the Shattuck collection, which may be the best on the planet, and instead got a little booklet with computer scan photos of really dubious quality. I kept the book and the envelope it came in, as I have done with other books; hoping it may become a collector's item in its own right some day. It is not much of a gun book.

Do you have Luger the International Pistol by Kenyon? If so, is there any comparison whatsoever between the two as presentations of fine guns?

The Davis guide may be helpful for identification purposes. It may also be helpful in boosting the deflated ego of a gun collector by making him or her feel really rich! (I know it works that way for me!)
