No. I heard Aaron's book. If I remembered right, it has so many errors,,, but it has its use to test collector's knowledge on Lugers. But, you know, I am not really a Luger collector, so no need to buy that book for that special exercise
Standard Catalog of Firearms, was a price guide. Old editor was Dan Shideler, I heard he passed away a few years ago. I used it a lot for pricing guideline. It's interesting that many Luger and Mauser pictures in the book were offered by Gale Morgan. He must have seen a lot, probably a collector himself too, so have many pictures.
Pictures in Std Catalog is for very rough identification purpose, not for collectors. Serious Luger collector still need to get collector grade books.
