A Modest Proposal

Dwight Gruber · 04-03-2004, 03:41 PM

I have a Luger or two which I have intended to post pictures of, but have scratched my head at times as to which category is most appropriate. The Luger Forum has enough categories for "authentic" pieces, but nothing to cover the occasional postwar-worked or otherwise "customized" Lugers which occaionally fall into people's hands.

I would like to suggest that the "Post-WWII Lugers" forum is broad enough to include Lugers which have been civilian-reworked in some fashion--rebarrelled with non-standard barrels; target-shooting conversions; .45 (or other caliber) or Baby conversions; engraving; etc--it should be pretty clear. This would also include nickel- or chrome-plated Lugers, but -not- straight reblue or restorations which are otherwise materially unchanged.

I'll post a Luger or two along these lines presently.
