What attracts you to the luger?

About 20 years ago while at the firing range, I met a professor from Mary Washington College and his daughter. He owned a 1915 Artillery Luger (he said) which he let me shoot. The ergonomic design fit my large hand like a glove and the accuracy was exceedingly good for it's age. Although I did have plans on buying a Luger, it never happened at that time.

I'm not an expert but, it was an Artillery Luger and the serial number was 15xx. Whether it was a parts gun I don't know but it was beautiful. He did mention that very few were made for that year. He was a very nice, open and warm man and I'll never forget the experience. He had no idea how just firing the luger affected me. Where ever he is, I wish him well.
