D.v.p. East german luger

[RockinWR]

Hi Richard,
* The Auto-Mag article appeared in Vol. XX, Issue #5 (8/87), Pg. 94 . It provides little more on the E,C.C.S.A. meaning than what I have posted above. Author did not cite his source(s) for the "East Coast Combat Shooting Assoc." meaning he reported. Hence my caution to take what was reported as "FWIW".
* This series of reports/questions (4/87-8/87) indicate the author personally reviewed hundreds of the P.08's. P.38's, and High Powers which were marked w/ the E.C.C.S.A. Importer's mark. Apparently these pistols were reviewed @ and were distributed by Davidson's (Greensboro, N.C.), Navy Arms, Delaware Shooter's Wholesale and possibly others.
* I have a byf'41, "all matching", excellent condition P.08 with this Importer's stamp on the R/H side flat. EG C/N rebarrel, DDR sunburst/numeral enrayed shield, bullseye VOPO plastic grips, and the sweetest single stage trigger I've ever experienced on a Luger. Qiute a shooter now bordering on a collectable.
* Trust this responds to your inquiry.
Respectfully
Bob

Thanks Bob!

I did see one of your posts over at Still's site, and found a couple more Philly newspaper reports about his legal difficulties stemming from Customs seizing his 1,000 Lugers for import violations. ECCSA's problems seem to date back to the mid to late 80's. Too bad.
