Being a newbie (only been collecting for 8 months)I need advise on purchasing a WWII Luger. I bought my P.38 from FGS, Inc. and I'm happy with it (o.k. so I think it's dipped), now for a Christmas gift to myself I'm looking for a matching WWII Luger. I need to know a few things so please bear with me.

1.) What the heck does 'straw' mean I see it in many descriptions?

2.)What's 'Black Widow' mean?

3.) Does FGS 'dip' their Lugers they sell?

I'd like to spend no more than $1500.00, can you guys point in the right direction for a GOOD dealer in this price range. Nobody wants to get ripped off, myself included!

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Thanks very much for your input.

Mike
