Dok,
I agree with you also (as well as RK). Lugers are neeeeat toys, but not my life. I have admired them for 50 years, but like most things, I wouldn't spend outrageous $$ for rare ones. I first bought a real clean shooter and learned a lot. Now Ted is redoing a WWI DWM to suit my purist tastes.
I also have a number of 1911s (not A1s) acquired over many years that have been reworked to suit me and I wouldn't trade them for the rarest collectible. They do what I want and look like they should (to me).
More power to the real collector and historian--but that's not me. I wouldn't own a Nazi holster, flag, or other such stuff, but Lugers, SAAs, old T-birds, etc. are neeeat.
