When I was in college in the '50's a buddy's uncle that was in WWII had a Luger and a M1 Carbine. We used to motorboat down LaForche Bayou and shoot turtles off logs with both. Apparantly his uncle had an unlimited supply of ammo, because I don't ever remember having to buy any! He had a standard 4" Luger and an extra artillery upper that we used to interchange as the mood hit us. After I graduated and was working in Montana, I went to a gunshow and bought an all matching 95% 1915 DWM with holster for the princely sum of $45 (still have it). When I was in Kalifornia in the early '60's the pawn shops were full of Colt SA's and Lugers for $100, but I was into Winchesters at the time.
