Where the info is available, I like to know what/where it is.
I agree with Don and Norm. The Japanese 'Mum' Luger discussion (and Totenkopf, and Russian Contract, and Spandau) discussions fascinate me, since so many dismiss them as fantasies when there are actual early photographs of them. From way before it was profitable or collectible or anyone even gave a rats' ass about them.

I also like to know about design changes and the tooling changes required. Changes are done to make something safer, or cheaper, or manufacture quicker, or eliminate waste (time or materials). I can always benefit from knowing how to do the job (any job) more efficiently.
