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

I once found a gold class ring in the fold of the front seat of a surplus police car I bought from the state. I managed to get it back to the owner (it had been stolen, and tucked in the car seat by the thief after he was arrested).

As to Lugers, my first was a 1924 "m" block 7.65mm .30 Luger DWM Alphabet Commercial in excellent condition. lI bought it from a firm that makes reproduction grips in Wilson NC when they brought it to our local gun show to sell.

That one just whetted my interest in Lugers, and lead to the next being a 1940/42 Mauser made WW-II Luger.
