Welcome to the LugerForum.

As a new collector some years ago, I found Gerard Henrotin's e-books particularly helpful. They are a quick read, inexpensive, and readily available for download. They are especially useful in providing the new collector with a good overview. And, the Henrotin Luger Mechanicals book provides excellent disassembly instructions with great pictures.

Having said that, I have all of Jan Still's books, and I consider them the most useful and informative of all those in a fairly comprehensive library I have assembled. Contact Jan directly for those that may be available. Some of them might not currently be available but can occasionally be found on eBay. Also, you might open a thread on this and Jan's forum to seek those of Jan's books not readily available.

Good reading, good hunting, and good luck.
