Right now my oldest and most historic Luger is my 1900 AE.
Years ago I posted photos of it here:
http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=26591 I still have it.
I have shot this 1900 on one occasion. A few magazine loads, and that's all.
On the other hand, I have one of the "Russian capture" or VOPO Lugers. This one stays in my range bag and gets shot whenever I feel like it. It functions flawlessly. You know what? In the hand it feels just like a $10k Luger. Do the math.
My big issue right now is whether I will shoot a Model 1902 Carbine I am negotiating. That's a tough decision. Any advice?
