Perusing an airgun catalog , I noticed a very well made Luger replica CO2 pistol for $100. It reminded me of how I had always admired the Luger design. I was getting ready to order one and thought, why not get the real thing?
I joined this board and read that patience was important in finding Lugers. At that time I assumed "patience" meant it might take a week or even two weeks to find one (I had only previously purchased new firearms).
After searching for nearly two weeks, it was obvious that Lugers were nearly gone. I was relieved to find local older-gun store that had some of the few remaining ones in existence and badly overpaid for a rough finish '36 Mauser military.
The good news is, I learned from the adventure.
