Chuck,
I think there was one question, left unanswered...
Did you bag this great luger in the trade for a recorder (i.e. audio equipment) or for a recorder (one of those wooden, flute/type instruments) ???
If you say wooden flute thingy, I think a couple of our advanced collectors will just pass out...
p.s. It might be time to think about an insurance policy on this luger. Since it's value appears to have sky-rocketed since you nabbed it in that trade in the 1960's.
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
