It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have read Elmer Keith since I was a little kid. He is one of my heroes. I just stood there staring at his revolvers. I got a Smith & Wesson 48-3 that he owned, along with a .45 LC repro derringer in the same lot. I thought there were some great deals at that auction. I got to handle the Number 5, the Jim Corbett tiger rifle and just about everything else.
I chose this Luger because I wanted a beautiful Luger with a good bore that I could still shoot, and this one was on the high side of bluing and straw and on the low side of price, so I went for it.
