Well, lugerholsterrepair, I don't know what comes before "immediately" in timing, but I think I get your drift.

The short story is I'm now the owner of this Luger. Yep, after reading all the comments and poring over myriad threads on this forum, I decided to take the plunge and at least acquire a "starter" gun.

Well-armed with the information I obtained from those of you on this forum I approached my friend this afternoon with a proposition. In the end, we reached an agreement that left both of us happy. My friend (and frequent business 'partner') has my trade item, and I have the gun with more 'booty' on the way. It's all good.

I believe that I can use this gun to springboard into the world of Lugers. So, yes, I know that this can become a habit. (Is there something akin to AA for Luger addicts?)

Now, with the accumulated wisdom on this forum, I can begin to chase down those other leads I have for LLH (Lugers Looking for Homes). It'll be fun.

Once more, thank you for your help.

Just in case there's a former colleague on board, I was "RA All the Way" USASA '59 - '62, ALS, then stationed at Herzo Base, FRG, '60 - '62. After active duty I served for another nine years as an "Independent Contractor" (translator/interpreter).

Have a safe and happy Memorial Weekend!
