Datig book

[cirelaw]

Harry Jone published 'Luger Variations" which was the same style as 'Luger At Random' and I still use it today for individual luger models and history! This is the book that should be reprinted!!It has over 100 seperate lugers with complete descriptions with pictures and the approximate amount produced! ~~Eric

I have the 1959 'Southern Press' edition of this book. Interestingly, the frontispiece labels it 'Volume One'.

Mine has literally dozens of hand-printed notes on the pages/pics, most saying "Have" with a serial number. I'm guessing it belonged to a serious Luger collector, as the value of the noted Lugers would be tens of thousands of dollars...

What is interesting about the handwritten notes is that they are in pen & ink, not ballpoint pen. I haven't seen anyone write with pen & ink since the early/mid fifties...

No name in it, just a couple numbers inside the front cover...
