Hello gentlemen. New to your forum and pleased to be here. I am for sure a rookie when it comes to Lugers, although I have admired them my entire life. I will, one day, own at least one. First though I need to learn more, lest I make a foolish mistake. Not to mention the fact, I like to learn.

Welcome Ezra. Good idea to get the knowledge before the pistol. It's all here!

Heck Exra, don't worry about making foolish mistakes. Part of the initiation process...

First though I need to learn more, lest I make a foolish mistake.

Start with a good book or two...nothing like reading for a good student and some knowledge gained by reading will hold you in good stead further down the line.

I would start with Jan Still's CENTRAL POWERS. Affordable and jam packed with interesting Luger as well as other stuff.

Yes, quite right, this was the direction I was going to head. I believe my primary interest (still early yet you know) lay with the Imperial area. That does not preclude later models (pre-1945) however.

Welcome to the forum.
A smart and correct decision indeed.

Let me add my welcome to the Lugerforum. You are so right to educate yourself about this pistol, before you invest a great amount of money...

LOVE your avatar!
