Advice for a first-timer

[Luke]

As a relative newcomer to Luger collecting, my advice is to get all of the Jan Still Books and perhaps others and read everything you can. I can especially recommend the Luger Mechanicals E-book which can be downloaded for about $6.00.


Then, call Tom Heller and get a good quality shooter.


Take it apart, reassemble it, get to know every component completely. Use the Luger Mechanicals E-book and try to understand the operation of the Luger.


Shoot it. Shoot it. Shoot it.


Attend local gun shows and look at Lugers, ask lots of questions, and take all advice you get there with a grain of salt.


THEN, start looking at collectable Lugers.


Best of luck to you ! ! !
