Ron, no arm-twisting necessary here! I've preferred the Imperial-era Lugers for many years and, in fact, know little about the later Mausers at all. (When a Mauser Luger is involved, I run to my books for information that I haven't committed to memory.)

While one might argue that the metalurgy of the Mauser Lugers is improved over the Imperial-era Lugers, the workmanship isn't. There is a smoothness to the early Lugers that simply isn't there on the later guns. That, at least, is my opinion. Others, I'm sure, will feel differently.
