Import/non-import
Hey guys can you tell me what Lugers were not imported into the US. I would like to know where DWM and Mauser had there US based factories for turning out all the non import Lugers. If you are looking for a shooter you should be looking for an import as you can usually get them cheaper. I have a real hard time with the lack of respect the imports have been getting, to me an import marked gun is more authentic than the now high priced ones that were sold originally by Ye Old Huters Lodge or Kleins in the 1950's and 60's for 29.95 and are now being sold as non imports for big bucks. At least most of the import marked Lugers have some history as far as being captured and put into war reserves. There are a lot of young and new collectors that could be starting a great collection using the better import marked Lugers if it were not for the bad connotation that some of the older collectors are using to keep the prices of their pieces up. You show me a non imported original German made Luger and I will buy you a cup of coffee when you come to Austin, Texas.
