I have been facinated with the Luger Pistole since as a child I learned of My Father receiving Ahe Purple Heart for a pistol wound to the right wrist by a German Artillery Sniper using a Lange P-08 with a Snail Drum Magazine in France during WW-1. For many years I looked longingly at the Mariners Museum Small Arms Collection which has more than a dozen Minty Navy P-08's of every type.
After much Deep Thought and consultation with my Wife we seem to place my one and only "1906 AE Luger" Acqisition in the 1948 - 1949 era, From A local Pawn Shop for $35.00 . I was 25 years old.
I guess that this makes me a "Semi Centerian" Owner.
Are There More of you "Old Timers" out there that are willing to stop lurking and "Come in Out of The Woods" and "Fess Up" to your age?
