My reason for this.. well..
When I was 8 years old when I got my first rifle, a .22cal that I used in biathlon. I remember it was a kinda "cool" thing to have At the same age, my grandmother told me that during (or after) WW2 she found a Luger under a three.
She gave it to my grandfather, and it was hidden somewhere on the farm.. It was very exciting to try to find it, but all I found was some 9mm bullets My dream was then to someday own one myself.
The search for the Luger has always been on my mind.. so later when my grandfather got cancer, I asked him if he still got it. By then his mind has become a bit "unclear". We searched the farm together, but the Luger was not to be found
(btw. my grandfather gave instead a revolver from around 1870, Montenegrin or a Belgian copy..)

Today I have taken over the small farm, and I'm quite sure the Luger is not there anymore. But sometimes, when fixing a floor etc, I take an extra look

I'm not very interested in firearms anymore.
Those I have are mostly for hunting, and not very expensive or interesting.
But the Luger is something special to me, the finely construction and beauty makes it more than just a firearm. My interests for Lugers have led me to other pistols and revolvers, but I kinda find them quite useless.. I donĂ¢??t need them for self protection at home, and with the poor precision, they are almost just as fun as throwing darts..

My search for Lugers, their history and variations will probably always go on. It's a great hobby to have, and there is a lot of great people throughout the world sharing the same hobby
