66+. Inherited my father's shooter when he died back in '79 and kept it and a couple other pistols stashed in the garage for years. A few years back I became interested in them again and found this forum where folks were very helpful. I finally had Mike Krause look at it and declare it safe to shoot so I took it to the range where it worked just fine. My father always told me it had a weak spring and for that reason he'd never fired it. 'Too bad he never had it checked out.

I am a very young 76. Got my first Luger in 1960 at my hometown hardware store that had a nice used gun department. I lived in a college town where a lot of folks were studying under the new GI Bill and were selling off their surplus, bring-home guns and relics. My Luger was a really nice 41/42 Mauser. Wish I still had it.....
