Hi,

I will be buying my first luger in the next week or so. It's a 1918 DWM in very nice condition, matching numbers and comes with what I'm told is the original holster.

I'm not sure if you are aware of the firearms laws in the UK, but all handguns are banned. We are however, allowed to buy pistols of 'historic interest' i.e, those dated prior to 1919. We are unable to keep these at home, they have to be held at a Home Office approved range and only fired on 'approved' days.

I'm paying Ã?Â£700 for the Luger which is roughly $1200 (U.S)

I've been reading the posts on here for a while now and I must thank you all for the depth of knowledge and experience I've found. I may post some pictures but from my inital look at the Luger, it is nothing 'special'. I intend to shoot it as often as I'm allowed and plan to reload for it (and hope to replicate the WW1 loads) but that is for the future.
