Scratch that "black widow" remark. I spoke with him again and he says alot of people call the Lugers with the blued trigger etc "black widows" Ive seen that term quite a bit in my recent attempt on researching Lugers, does it just have to do with the plastic grips I'm assuming?

Hi Jason, "Black Widow" is a term that was coined a few years ago to describe the 20% or so, of the 1941 and 1942 byf Lugers that were issued with black bakelite grips. This label has caught the popular imagination and these guns are now worth a little more than those with wood grips. Regards, Norm
