Hello

I received in the mail this week, The Luger handbook and the Standard catalog of the luger, both by Aarron Davis. It is unfortunate that I ordered these books before I saw any of the reviews on these books. Oh well!

I don't have enough experience to see the flaws that others have discovered, but I did find one.

I own a Mauser 42 1940. In the "Catalog" it says finish on this model should be salt blue, no straw finish.

Then in the"Handbook" he lists the 5 parts that are straw colour.

I do get a kick out of the fact that he contradicts himself.

In this case I think that the "Catalog" is right as my pistol is all blued.

Anybody want to buy a couple of Luger books cheap
