My first luger, I still own, a buffed and reblued Erfurt Artillery - it feeds and shoots almost anything, great gun, sold a 4 inch Python in Hawaii and bought it for $325 in circa 1984

You see how much those pythons are going for now? Looks like luger prices, and then some.

Mustang are nice. I have two Chevelles and a road runner. Love old cars.
