Luger Information Source

[Marvin]

Since buying a Kreifhoff Luger, I was wanting to know more info on this pistol and John Dunkle was very kind to help answer my questions. But, I wanted to know more about this pistol so I bought the book "The Kreighoff Parabellum" by Randall Gibson. When I was home last weekend it had arrived and I gave it a quick overlook and thought that this may be more interesting than I thought. The reason for this is that Gibson has written the book around a comparison of the Kreighoff Luger and the ones produced by Mauser, Simson, and DWM. This book really gives good information on the Lugers other than Kreighoff! In effect, you get a comparison of the major manufacturers with information not contained in the other Luger books.


Until I received this book, I never realized how much good Luger information it contains. I would like to highly recommend that this book be one of the regularly used books when doing research on the different parts of the Luger, the stamps, finishes, machining, grips, etc. It is GREAT. I am reading it in the evenings at my apartment and really absorbing every word.


John D., I don't know if this book was a well kept secret of the real Kreighoff collectors or not, but it is a must buy book; I wish I had done that many years ago. Please make any comments from your viewpoint.
