I was 12 in 1972, vlim, didn't know you were such a youngster ;>)
I grew up seeing the early 1960's ads of lugers for these crazy prices, makes ya wish!  Ed

I had just been released from active duty in 1972...I went out and bought a brand-new Honda 500-4 motorcycle...Metallic brown, 4 cylinders, and somewhat traditional English styling (unusual in a Japanese cycle)... I had a war surplus P-38 that I had bought in Oceanside CA in '70, plus an Enfield Jungle Carbine...The P-38 kept firing the chambered round when applying the safety/hammer drop...The Enfield was a beautiful shooter; very accurate...  Them, my youth and innocence, and any common sense I had are long gone...
