What was your first Luger?/ What got you into collecting Lugers?

I saw cirelaw ask this question in another thread and thought it could use its own thread. I will also expand on the topic. I'm still kinda new here and this felt like a good opportunity to get to know everyone a little better.

My first Luger was a 1939-date Mauser 42 code, original finish and all matching including the mag. I bought it about 8 years ago sort of in remembrance of the Luger my Dad had when I was a kid. He inherited it from his uncle, who fought in Europe in WW2. That Luger was the coolest gun Dad owned by far, in my childhood opinion. I showed it off to all my friends.

After buying the Mauser, I got several books about Lugers and was hooked. I jumped in with both feet! My second Luger was a 1902 AE fat barrel...
