What amazes me, Smith and Wesson had made several versions and upgrades even untill today. Lugers only really had 2 models, the new and old~Never requiring any major upgrades or modifications that I am aware!!!! Ole Georg basically got it right his first time~~http://www.historicalfirearms.info/p...anniversary-of

You are right but Borchardt-Luger pistols were used for less then 40 years, that makes me think about broomhandles, another beautiful example of the German talent poorly estimated and seldomly used in practice.

Eric I don't know what you think but in my opinion these videos made by RIA always seem pretty well made.
Have a nice day.

Thats why I post them! I like the fact that they give great info and are done not just to hype their auctions~~Timeless knowledge!

You're absolutely right, and unlike many other videos just made by young gun maniacs, here collectible weapons are explained in a much more professional manner.
