I guess someone was envious of an American eagle Luger...maybe the OP...or somebody else...

Unless there was a story, and more pics, I'd be hard to impress...I mean, it looks like a nice roll mark, but hey!...I'm from Missouri!!! Show me!!!

That is/was the Mike Morris collection...or at least part of it.

he indicated he currently has more than 400 lugers in his collection. he is making a trip to europe this summer on a purchasing trip. he sets up in the various countries and says that you would not believe what comes walking through the door..........

There were several catalogues in the 50s that had page after page of lugers with 50 or so to the page.
Brooms and P38s as well.

Lots of neat chromers and stag or plexiglass grips.

It's a different era now. Luger and Mauser are relatively expensive nowadays, it's a financial burden to acquire many nice original instances. I found circulating them is necessary. Trying to find guns is fun, selling guns is fun as well.
