I kept mine for at least 10, years, though the cap firing device gave out after about only one or two years.

We also had quite a bit of fun watching the new TV Series "Combat" on which we could see actual Lugers in use.

As Dad had captured two Lugers, during his time in the 82nd Airborne; much later, I had my very first experience actually shooting one.

Those were, indeed, golden memories of youth.
