I have been reading the comments from the various members of the Forum and have been quiet, until now.


Each of us has their own ideas of what is important to them regarding the ownership of anything. Maybe thatâ??s why some people own Fords and others own Chevrolets.


Some of the members of this auspicious group own only Lugers that have been imported, have been repaired and reblued and donâ??t have the small parts with matching numbers. Others have Lugers that have been imported, have the original blue and do have matching serial numbers on all the parts.


So one may come to the conclusion that we all have Imported Blued Lugers.


I donâ??t think it is wrong for some of us to own a Shooter Imported Blued Luger, while others own a Collector Imported Blued Luger. Some of us actually own both kinds. It may be a matter of finances or preferences that lead to the purchase of either one or both of these types.


Each of us has idiosyncrasies regarding the Lugers we own. I have been told, by one Luger Collector, that the condition of the bore is not important, itâ??s the external appearance and the original matching serial numbers that count. Another â??Collectorâ? has expressed his opinion that the condition of the pistol is important and it really doesnâ??t matter if the magazine has the same serial number or not, as long as it has the general type of magazine. And so on and so on.


The fact that we all have our own opinion is what makes the Forum interesting. I am just sorry that some of us are so opinionated they have closed their minds to the opinions of others. I think we should all be able to say what we want to, within reason, but letâ??s do it in a courteous, non-degrading manner. Nuff said.
