Imperial Vs. WWII

[beachbaker]

The first luger that I bought was a byf42 and thought that the WWII era was going to be my interest. A few months later I was at the Reno gunshow and Jan Still was there selling his books and one unit marked DWM 1914. I immediately fell for Imperial Lugers. I bought that one from him and have acquired many more since then but no more WWII lugers at all. The only WWII guns I have bought are the early high gloss p38's early pp's, and early ppk's. I think when it comes to collecting lugers your real interest will take you one way or the other. That is not to say that I still on occasion buy other guns if they are too nice to pass up even if they are a little astray from my main interest. So, I would have to say I find the Imperials much more interesting and collectible than the Nazi era, but that is just me. Fortunately, there are enough eras and sub eras and variations to keep it interesting for all of us. Curt
