Hi Kidvett,

Once upon a time, there were 3 little pigs hehe [img]biggrin.gif[/img] just kidding

I don't really have any stories related to this Luger except for this:

I inherited this Luger from my dad. He, in turn, purchased it from a Mr. Joseph P.A. Lajoie in Longueuil, Que on Nov 29, 1972. This Mr Lajoie was a Master Warrant Officer with the Canadian Air Force in Europe during WWII. The details of how he got the Luger are a little sketchy but basically, he somehow "aquired" the Luger and brought it back to Canada only to keep it until the day he sold it to my father (Sorry but no dead german officer stories <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" /> )

I just think I'm lucky to have Mr Lajoie's and my Dad's registration certificates since it traces the history of the pistol all the way back to WWII. I (unsuccesfully) tried to trace Mr Lajoie's family to get more details as to how he got it...ie poker game or dead german officer story [img]wink.gif[/img] !!

Anyway that's it for now..
