Hi Ron,

Nice old ladies you get! <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />
And almost consecutive serial numbers after so much time! I simply love these stories!

Oddly the Brazilian Contract Luger are pretty difficult to find even here in Brazil. I�´m still looking for a decent one, but I think that the best ones were sent to USA in late 70s. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />

They were used by the Brazilian Armed Forces up to 1937 when were replaced for the Colt M1911A1 and the Smith & Wesson M1917. After the Luger were used by some States Polices, and the last ones were finally put aside during late 40s and 50s.

Once more, congratulations!

Best wishes,

Douglas. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />
