Hey Guys-new here

Great site here. After using online sources to research guns, cars etc. for 10 plus years, its really nice to find such an impressive resource of concentrated knowledge. It's really refreshing compared to the high noise level on some sites. I'm a shooter as well as a collector, most often in 3 gun and action pistol matches.
I've been interested in weapons and history as far back as I can recall, and at 49, my interests are recently focusing on older weapons. Most of my firearms collection is modern, but I have always harbored a special interest in WWI and WWII era weapons. I have decided to ad a Luger (or 2) and and Springfield M1903A1 to start my new journey into military collecting. After spending several hours reading here, I'm hoping you Guys will allow me to make your site one of my primary resources for information on all things Luger.
My 1st question is: What are some possible indicators that a Luger has seen use in both World Wars? I'm hunting my 1st Luger now (posted on the WTB board), and would love to find a pistol that was likely used in both wars.
