Luger Cache w/US GIs during WWII

Mike78 · 02-21-2007, 03:05 AM

Any WWII vets out there who can put into context the relative value of a Luger souvenir versus a P38 during the war? Were Lugers encountered more or less than P38s overseas? Were there any Luger variations sought out more than others and were "matching numbers" important at that time? I would guess that many Lugers were aquired as stakes during card games. What was there relative value versus other souvenirs that served as poker stakes?
