Hi Brandon,
It's always fun to imagine - but if this RIG belonged to a Fighter Pilot - he sure didn't get scrambled too often [img]eek.gif[/img] The RIG is in excellent shape. Anyway, and more seriously - the Luger was a bit bulky for the confined cockpit of the fighters, and along with the rest of their gear - a fighter pilot usually opted for smaller firearms then the Luger. There are some pictures of pilots with Lugers - but usually they were of bomber pilots/crews/etc. Also - the paratroopers and the FLAK corps (and other groups) were also part of the Luftwaffe - and typically they would have been issued Lugers when a sidearm was required.
Anyway - thanks for the note and comments!!!
