Photos of Commemorative Waffen SS "Diamond Edition" Luger???

Hermit, Aimco, a company in Houston, manufactures stainless steel Lugers. Looks to me like this guy made a large enough custom order from them to make it worth their while.

As they are current manufacture they have no value to a Luger collector, except as a curiosity. As a shooting firearm the Aimco pieces are at least respectable, see the postwar Luger section here, and particularly do a search on the old board, for comments.

The price is not quite twice what you can pick up a stainless Luger for. In the realm of commemoratives its not outrageous, although theres really not much to it, and frankly if I had that knd of money kicking around it would go for something original and much more interesting. AT least they are not wrecking real Lugers.
