Regarding unusual Luger acquisitions, in 1975 a friend of mine told me a coworker ww2 vet had a brand new condition Luger and holster which he took from a general named Matzdorf and for which he wanted 150 dollars, I told him to get it and i would give him 250. Well he got it and the gun was engraved withthe generals name, the holster was complete with a silver shield on the inner flap with the generals name, everything as new! So, he reneged onour deal and kept it for himself. He cleverly hid it in the bottom of the bedroom trash can under the plastic bag therein. Need I say what became of the gun? In disgust he sold the holster for $5o! Out there somewhere in the dump lay a brand new generals luger!
