RK,
I was 10 years old when the war started in 1941. The neighborhood kids would play "war". I saw a picture of a Luger in the dictionary, copied it on a piece of wood, cut it out with a cooping saw and that was my toy gun for these games. Been facinated with them ever since. One of the kids father was in North Africa and sent him a helmet that he wore to play. I still remember the desert sand color. Would be quite a collectors piece today, wonder if he still has it. Since then I have owned about 75 real Lugers and I'm still looking for them. Must be some sort of fettish.
