Going shopping tomorrow.... for Lugers!

I will embark on an expedition tomorrow that I would bet not many Forum members have had the opportunity to experience. A friend of mine who collected Lugers for years is in poor health and must sell off his collection. He had over 100 Lugers in the collection ranging from 1906 Navies to post WWII with everything in between. I have seen many of these guns over the years and I now have the opportunity to buy one or all (providing I have deep pockets, which I don't!). Some have sold, mostly WWII era, but I am interested in getting two WWI era Lugers, one which was an exceptional DWM 1914 Military that I hope is still available. The irony of all this is that I am not a Luger collector, although it is one of my favorite guns and I own a matching WWII S/42 1938, I recognize an opportunity when I see one. The sale is being handled by a close friend of his so we don't know if that gun is still available. None the less it is going to be an unforgettable day on Sunday!
