[Lugers down under]

Hi Guys,
I have given John the sad news about his Kreigsmarine Luger.
Natually he is devastated. Here is his reply which you can see that he is asking for advice.

For those of you who can offer him any solace or advice, John has asked me to post his e-mail address which is: drjustice2001@yahoo.com

I would appreciate any help
