Phoenix Gun Show Report

I saw 6 or so Lugers, mostly junk. 3 OK P.38's about the right price, maybe a little high. A big bunch of Mauser C96, some with stocks and leather. The C96's were, for the most part, overpriced, but the quality was good.

I saw the nicest 1917 Navy and Artillary Lugers I have ever seen - bar none! They had matching magazines and as far as I could tell they were in mint condition. The owner had them as a tease (Not for Sale) along with a very nice Martz 45 (also primo, also not for sale)

Last, but certainly not least, I had a nice conversation with Fred Datig. We had a very nice talk about "Black Widows", as well as Lugers in general. He is a gentleman!!
