I started collecting in l958 after seeing lugers in those Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet movies and especially the serial Blake of Scotland Yard. My first was purchased through the mail from Ye Old Hunter, a rebarreled DWM with a mismatched sideplate, For $34! I also ordered the artillery for $44 but it never came, they retracted the ad and I got my money back. By the time I had to move west to finish my medical training I had amassed 34 lugers, including a Simson, 1934 Krieghoff, 1917 Artillery, 1900 AE, 1934 S/42, 1906 Navy ($175) and a Mauser GNR. I sold all but the 1906 Navy and went into hibernation until discovering the Luger Forum about 2 1/2 years ago. I am amazed at how many rare and unusual lugers are available IF you have the money!
