Default Re: Don't like those Nazi guys either

Third Reich Lugers by Jan Still, page 238 states "Documentation from Israel indicates that this Luger was imported by the "Electric Company of Israel" during the late 1930's. It is likely left over from an undelivered portion of the portion of the Stoeger contract {STOEGER AMERICAN EAGLE} and routed to Israel." I find this Luger highly interesting considering all the evil attachements some have for Lugers and the previous statements in this thread. In my view the Luger was a tool and a darn amazing one, especially considering the engineering marvel it was in early 1900 when it was conceived. All the AXIS soldiers could have used a 1911 45 to do the same bad stuff if they had them, but it doesnt make the weapon evil IMO. ~Thor~
