I agree that they are somewhat dated, Jones is dated 1959 and Datig 1955. They are the pioneers of Luger documentation and used what was available at the time. Jones's book has more than a hundred good photos of Lugers that I have found to be very useful. Datig has described the history of the Luger in great detail and has given a lot of information on dates of manufacture, etc. This info may be out of date but it still is a great reference tool for the beginning collector. With all of the recent attempts at fakery I think that the old references are going to be the ones to look at. No, I am not the one trying to sell the books at Ebay, I cherish my library and the knowledge it has provided me.
