What was your first Luger?/ What got you into collecting Lugers?

I bid on this Luger on GB for $550... But then went off to the Virgin Islands for a week of sailing and was sure someone watching would bid more. When I got back I was amazed that I won and quickly purchased this 'bring back' nickeled, dual date Luger. It is a DWM, 1918/1920, 2336 i frame, mismatched, 9mm pistol. Since then I bought about 5 with parts for another 2 or 3, if I find frames. All in the $500 to $700 range, but all would be considered 'shooters.' I have almost a full set of INOX Mitchell Luger parts and looking for a frame. So if you have a Mitchell frame for sell or would like to trade, let me know.

In 1960 bought a double date 1917/1920 DMW all matching for $40. Mag didn't match, it was stolen in 1979. Had several go thru my hands since. Given several to my two sons who fortunately share my interest in guns as we trace family back to Zella Mehlis in the 1600's.
