I think I have told this story on the forum before. I bought my first Luger in 1957, the summer after I graduated from high school. I was working with my Dad and Uncle on highway construction, and as we were traveling from our home in Pennsylvania to the work site in Baltimore (we worked during the week and came home for weekends) my Uncle wanted to stop for some fishing supplies in a little country gun and tackle shop. In a display case there was a virtually mint 42 byf with two matching magazines and an equally nice holster. I had an interest in Lugers from an early age and this one spoke to me. He wanted $100 for the rig…I gave him $5.00 down and spent the rest of the summer paying it off. My first Luger. Sure has been a long journey.
