I purchased my first Luger in 1972. I knew absolutely nothing about them, but had to own one. A local M.D. had this 1921 DWM Alphabet Luger in 7.65P. It was in better than average condition, and I purchased it. I have since figured out that I paid Waaaay to much for it, but we live and learn!! I still own that Luger and it makes it to the range quite often. The bore looks like a sewer pipe, but still shoots quite accurately when I do my part. I will just say that that Luger "started it all", and I now own a few more.
