My Dad's WWII Luger...

[Enoch]

One other thing I'd like to mention re: my dad's gun. When I was small my dad and I would periodically take all his guns to my Granddad's place and shoot them. It was an all day affair cause he had quite a few guns. After shooting all day Saturday we'd spend all day Sunday cleaning everything. My father was meticulous with the care of his firearms. Several times during the cleaning phase of our shooting weekends while the Luger was disassembled he made it a point to show me that all the numbers on it matched. He was very proud of this gun and tried to impress upon me that when it eventually passed on to me I should be very careful to not alter it in any way. I've had the gun for almost 9 years now and am quite frankly afraid to touch it for fear of somehow doing it damge. I guarantee anyone reading this post that my father never had this gun re-blued or "worked on" by anyone ever. It is exactly as it was when he aqcuired in Germany in 1946 or '47
