An Introduction
Greetings to my new friends. Although I registered some time ago, I haven't been able to participate until now. I am quite familiar with firearms in general, but my primary interest has always been American weapons. My knowledge of Luger esoterica is limited. I hope to learn a lot here.
My interest in Lugers stems from my father's Luger, the first gun I ever held. I will post the story behind it in the appropriate sub-forum. I look forward to the cameraderie of this forum.

Thank you for the welcome, gentlemen. Although I registered quite a while ago, I have been preoccupied since then by the care of my elderly mother.
I would like to tell the story of my father's Luger. It appears to be a standard German-made, 1930's (?) manufacture, four inch barrelled, 9mm model. But the story behind it is, I feel, worth the telling. Which forum might be appropriate?

this part of the forum, as i can always move it if it becomes obvious as a commercial or military model.
See this chart http://www.lugerforum.com/IDsheets.html to really fill it out correctly. Ed |

We currently live in Hampden. My late father's side of the family is from your neck of the woods, up in Madison and North Anson. I have only attended one show here, the Bangor Gun Show. My cousin is one of the main organizers of the event. I do hope to cross paths with you someday, and I consider all the members of this forum to be new friends. I will post the story of my father's Luger (now mine) in a new thread in this sub-forum soon. Thanks again for the welcome.

Welcome indeed C.C. Sounds like you have found yourself a new home... I hope you enjoy the company here... I have read your story about your Dad, it's a great story and a great Luger. I vote with those who say to leave it as your Dad customized it... it is handsome and a piece of his personal history... My own father's Luger is no where near as nice looking, but I treasure it just the same... He was my hero... Honor him by making sure his Luger never leaves your family.
