Igor,
From your earlier post (#16 in this thread) you indicated that you have already acquired Walter’s and Still’s books, so you are off to a proper start IMO.
When you feel you need additional resource material and the budget permits, Görtz & Sturgess is a good investment. If you want to get back to the roots of Luger books, I still enjoy sitting down with an adult beverage and perusing once again Fred Datig’s “The Luger Pistol” and Harry Jones' “Luger Variations”. Those two guys were pioneers in documenting Luger information. Datig actually talked to still living early Luger historical individuals such as Georg Luger Jr. and DWM’s August Weiss. I enjoyed a number of conversations with Harry Jones over the years (I still frequently contact his son Mike Jones who continues to run Harry’s shop “Collector’s Gallery” in Torrence, CA). And I would be remiss if I didn’t repeat my continued affinity for Costanzo’s book, Norm’s advise notwithstanding.
Ron
