Hey Tom...!!!!
Congrats!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> A terrific addition!!!!!! PICTURES!!!! Gosh Darn it - PICTURES!!!
Also - Pete..!
Nope - I won't Flame a bit!! I look at post-war as another era in Luger manufacturing from HK.. It's part of the history of the manufacturer, rather then a piece that was part of the war effort. In my view (which is "narrow" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) both and all eras are collectible. However - for that - you are not alone! Even many HK Collectors look at the post war - and the HK DWM Reworks as you - and that's OK as well....
Another "post war" variation I find equally as fascinating are the "parts guns" - or those assembled by the GIs. In some cases - they have verified the existence of lesser produced "Military" production runs - so I find them equally interesting and noteworthy.
Anyway - just my opinion from this side of the telescope....
Best to you - and Tom - MOST EXCELLENT!!!
