Tom,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm relatively new here, but have learned a great deal through the kindness and interest of other forum members. My goal is to try and give back where I'm able to. I'm still learning about Lugers...

Nick,

One warning! These fine pistols are addictive. You have done really well on your first purchase. Enjoy it.

Ask the gun shop if they can contact the family or GI that brought in the Luger and try to learn any of the history and the bring back story associated with it. These are of interest to members here, and there may be an official paper that the army issued to the GI when he was authorized to bring the Luger home. These add provenance and interest to a Luger.
