Yes, back then a Luger was a Luger to most people I am sure. But, even way back then, there were collectors who knew the score and the odds of picking up a really fine condition rare Luger in the mail was probably about as good as it is now. The interesting parallel is the Russian imports. While they have had stuff done to them they are still the closest thing to 'cheap, easily available Lugers'. It is interesting how 1952 seems like ancient history. I was four years old but I am interested in basically the same things and it seems like only yesterday.
