"Standard Catalog of Firearms: The Collector's Price and Reference Guide", Ned Schwing, 1,384 pages, Krause Publications (its an annual publication). Picked my copy up at Borders, Seen it at gun shows, its pretty common.

You are right, gun shop Lugers are pretty scarce. I have been told that one really needs to dig for them, stop at every garage sale, every junk store, talk to everybody--they do come out of the woodwork.

What are the gun shows like in your part of the territory? I have discovered that even in shows where there don't appear to be any Lugers, occasionally someone has one "under the table". Also, walk around gun shows with a sign pinned to your chest saying "looking for Lugers", or suchlike. You'd be surprised what sometimes walks through the door, that you can flush out this way.
