Thank you Charlie for all that info! I've been finding this research facinating. It sounds like your piece has a lengthy tale to tell. I can see how an uncle and nephew could spend hours speculating on its travels. Its interesting that the paths of these pieces have intersected once again.
I'm grateful that you contributed the photo to Don's book. Since we're not collectors, we're completely satisfied with that. Who knew it would later lead to a match up? Tuck our email address away, and if you ever hear from the purchaser, please pass it along. These pieces have crossed paths twice now, they say the third time is the charm. Maybe one day the spare magazine and this 100 year old Luger will be reunited.
Many Thanks,
Diane
