Luger Factory Shipments

In Buxton's Volume II of the P.38 Series of books he speaks of shipments of P.38s being shipped from Mauser in wooden boxes (Volume II, page 94) with each pistol totally encased in heavy grease. Of course P.38s had plastic grips. This made me wonder how Lugers were shipped also. Doesn't seem like this would be a good idea as the wooden grip panels would soak up the grease and get very nasty. Just think what a find one of these original wooden crates would be today! AH.......one can dream!! Maybe there is a buried treasure out there some where!! Ted
