can you own too many lugers????????????

Two. The bottom collection is two: a 1900 plus a Military of choice. Beyond that, fan only. Irrelevant, the basic collection of Mauser is two as well: a CH plus a Red 9.

My personal opinion, one can never have enough Lugers.

I'd collect the Mauser factory if it would fit in my safe...

The right number of Lugers is always one more than I have...it never stops (unfortunately, the money does). And, I am afraid I could be "certified sick" for several reasons

When I acquired my first Luger in 1959, I was as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas morning. 50 years later and many Lugers later, the excitement of finding a new one has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the price. One can never own too many of a cherished treasure.

My friend has 55 luger's he inherited from his father. Is that too many? LOL!

To my mind, to be a collector one needs to acquire 3 of whatever it is you're collecting. One, is just one. Two, is just happenstance. Three, you have embarked on a collectors' path. Four, and you're hopelessly enslaved.

I owned one and inherited 5 more.... I never thought much about them until I started reading "The Luger Pistol" by Datig. I've come to appreciate them and give them a whole new respect. They really are a piece of mechanical brilliance.
