Another New Guy With A Luger

Wow, thanks guys for your info. My dad always told me it was an older luger and not one "mass produced by the Nazis" (his exact words). I'll talk to him later this week to see if he remembers exactly where his unit was when he captured the luger. He's still pretty sharp and now that he's in his mid 80's, he talks more about the war. I guess the old saying is true about time healing old wounds and erasing some of the horrors of war.

I'll get pics posted this week. This is all pretty wild to have this vintage firearm. I'm sittin here looking at it wondering man, if you could talk, where have you been!

For those interested in the exploits of the 94th Div during WWII, there is a good book out entitled "Pattons Pawns"

My dad was assigned to the 94th Inf Div, 376 Inf. Regt, 2nd Bn, "E" Co
