Are You A Lugerholic??

[gunnertwo]

I vividly remember the first time I saw a Luger pistol. My father and I were in our garage and our neighbor was visiting with us over the fence. Both he and my Dad were WWII vets and were speaking of their time overseas. I was six years old at the time. The neighbor invited us over to see the war trophy he brought home. He pulled it from the holster and Dad allowed me to hold it. Looking back from many years ago I knew at that time I wanted one just like the one I held. My father passed when I was 10 and I never was able to talk about his wartime experiences. The very first handgun I purchased was a re-blued 30 commercial. My buddy's father bought it for me at a garage sale for $75. I was 17 at the time (oh, the horrors of a young boy with a handgun!!). The Luger disease had held firm since then.

Thanks to the many members for posting pictures of their incredible collections.
