An improbable happening

Mike B · 09-10-2012, 06:26 PM

This is a good story:

Several years ago, ten or so, I sold the very first Luger that I acquired many years ago. It was a 1917 DWM in good but not great condition. I was very reluceant to sell it, but sometimes one does what needs to be done however distasteful it might be. Yesterday, my son sent me a link to a Luger that was advertised for sale. I called the seller and agreed to meet at his home this afternoon. He opened his safe and of course I was certain out would come some rare or exotic Luger. It was a the same Luger that I had sold many years before. My first Luger is back in her home place tonight.
Here is a link to the ad.

It is now back where it belongs. I sold a LNIB Browning Hi Power to a friend a number of years ago(weak moment) and have been trying to buy it back ever since....to no avail!! Maybe someday. Enjoy.
