Your First Luger

[Douglas Jr.]

My first Luger is a mismatched built with parts from a DWM 1916 and the toggle train and rear sight from a Navy - everything reblued. This gun was bought by my father in 1984 and it was his first Luger also. I still remember him showing me the pistol when I was 10. It looked SO BIG in my hand...

Then, in 1996 he gave it to me, as he saw that I was decided to collect seriously. I added other Lugers to my collection - all of them collectable pieces - but I still keep the first one. In fact I'm planning to have it restored (with correct finish) and fitted with a 6 in. barrel - it will be a nice shooter.
