New to the forum
Hi and thanks for the add. I have just purchased a heavily engraved and nickel plated DWM serial no. 3945. It is cased with a label on the back of the case that reads: Replica Products, 610 57th Street, Vienna, West Virginia 26105, (304) 295-7239.
I haven't got the Pistol home yet so I can't put up any photos yet, but I would appreciate any help identifying it as I'm new to Lugers. Thanks in advance for your help and advice. Cheers Bruce |

I look forward to photos of your luger and please post some of the case too. Replica Products was owned and operated by Roger Crowley out of his home in Vienna, WV. He specialized in old west books and memorabilia and at one time, made nice wooden cases for various pistols. I lived a block away from him and got to know him as a teenager in the 1970s. He'd 'subcontract' with some of us neighborhood kids to help make some of the internal parts for his pistol cases that he'd sell via mail order and at gun shows. I still have one of his nice walnut ones with a french fit red velvet interior that I keep one of my lugers in. Roger was a real nice guy.

Also read read past posts
I have found a lot of info just from reading past posts. A lot of said posts contain info not in the FAQ sections.

Hi Bruce and welcome to the forum.
For your direct reference, the FAQ documents are at: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=13121 You'll find quite a bit of reference information and background knowledge with numerous illustrations.

Many thanks for all your replies. Still working my way around this site, how do I thank individual posters, but I'll put my old brain to work and I'll get there. I can see I'll be doing a lot of reading. FAQ has surprised me with the amount of information you guys have put together there. Very helpfull. I'm new to collecting and started with Webley revolvers that has led me to WW1 guns. I have a couple Mauser Broomhandles and this is my first Luger. I believe it's a commercial and not military issue but still very different with the engraving. I'll post some photos as soon as I can but for now I'll clean my glasses and get to reading. Once again many thanks.
Cheers Bruce |

Thanks for all the help and welcomes. I hope these photos will give you an idea of the Luger. Tell me if you want any more or different ones and I'll see what I can do. Outlaw 6 I'll get some of the case next time for you but if you can help with any info on Roger Crowley I would appreciate it very much. Trying to trace the history of these guns has got me addicted.
Cheers Bruce |
