Not last ditch by any means! Replaced by the new P.38. But still a very effective and sought after WWII trophy by any American soldier at that time.

Ive got to say I don't remember 41, 42 Lugers ever being snubbed by collectors? Although, I've only been collecting for a short time in the Luger collector world.

Don't we all dream about going back in time with the knowledge we have today.
