1 Year addiction

hayhugh · 11-13-2014, 12:09 PM

I have had this affliction for about one year and am asking for help. Most of the people I have read on this forum seem to also suffer from this addiction. What can one do?

1900 DWM Swiss Army Contract, 1906 WF Bern (W/Sunshield-1924), 1914 Erfurt Artillery,
1918 DWM w/sear safety, 1923 DWM commercial, 1993 Mitchell. All guns with matching parts.

You have to follow the famous 12-step process... Making the world a better place...one luger collectible at a time.

(Once you have 12 Lugers, you will hopefully slow down your addition!)

Hayhugh,
A very Nice collection in one year! Looks as you even have a 22LR conversion top half.

As for me not a year yet and have 2 lugers 42 byf,1915 DWM, and the bottom half of a G Date mauser I am putting together.

enjoy! Loving Lugers

Just relax and go with the flow. Once the Luger bug bites, it is incurable.

" Looks as you even have a 22LR conversion to half".
Yes I can slip that on the DWM Commercial by just removing the toggle pin.

Hugh,

The Swiss Luger addiction is particularly potent.

Congratulations!

You could take two asprin and call the doctor in the morning, but I doubt it would help much. You have the dreaded Lugeritis Disease. There is no known cure!! But it's fun!

Welcome to the madness!

Yea!! You are addicted! L.A ~~Lugers anonymous~~

give them away as prizes

then start over

seriously, I figure that after about 5 or 6 that anything over that is gravy

I was up to 28 I think at one time, but I have about a third of that many now... (for Simson Lugers I bought as many as I could afford and then for Police Lugers, the same)

Ya Ed, with the variety that I have now, the only one I see in my future is a Navy (6").
