Had some Lugers at the show! A nice DWM Artillery (I forget the year), original but missing some bluing but overpriced by $300 IMO. Saw probably a dozen Lugers for sale which is about a dozen more than normal. Met John Eckert and really enjoyed his display and talked to him at length and we compared my K date to one he had in his collection. I was very pleased with his comments on my gun. He taught me a couple of things to look out on a variation I had never seen before. More on that later. I think Strider took good notes and might want to write about it.
Also finally got to met Bob Adams which was a real highlight to me, a quality gun dealer. We talked quite a bit about the Persian Mauser Luger he purchased that is featured on his web site, a real treasure IMO. CLICK HERE TO SEE LINK FOR Shah Presentation Luger Gave a lot of my cards away (along with Striders help) and showed off my K which was fun. One of the gun dealers asked me what it started out as, I had to laugh, he seemed to wonder if I had made it from some other Luger but I told him it was a K when I got it, just not as nice, lol! All in all a great show, but meeting those nice people and getting time to spend with Strider and the great breakfast at Pereas restaurant were the best! Did see several Lugers that could use a little Thor's TLC. I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
