The story, like a lot of inherited gun stories is pretty bare. No documentation on when, where and how much this gun was purchased. The owner was (passed about 5 yrs ago) was a real collector and avid hunter. He had been to Africa on several safaris. The house is filled with really nice Trophy animal's from Africa. So several of his guns are large caliber double barrel types. He also was a big water bird hunter and so several shotguns of all different types and brands.
Bottom line, I don't think there was a gun show or gun classified add he didn't go to or study. I think the Luger was just a spot buy at a gun show some years ago...But just a guess. The majority of his guns are Winchester's, Browning's and Remington's... Quiet a few are from the early 1900's but all for the most part are in Excellent condition.
I appreciate you for asking about the story!
