Yeah, thats why i bought an EG Vopo arm band and uniform and am looking for a EG holster.
The East German communist period was very short and unlike any other part of history. I know everybody likes Nazi guns for the same reason, but I think the Cold War period is very interesting and items from this period may be highly collectable in the future.
(I would not have bought this pistol if it had a swastika on it...the thought of owning a pistol that maybe was used to kill defenseless kids, women and old/sick people in a concentration camp, does not sit well with me...sorry)
Since it has a great bore, no rust or dings and all matching parts, I think its a worthy piece and with all the proper accessories I am acquiring, it ought to have some collector interest.
I collect Cold War/Iron Curtain surplus firearms and also have an EG Makarov, Polish TT-33 Tokerev, Yugoslavian Tokorev and a CZ-52, along with several Iron Curtain rifles.
I was actually glad it was an EG Luger that I stumbled upon.
(now..if I could only find a good Russian army issue Makarov)
