Sigourney Weaver's Luger

Jackson Armory is a model of restraint compared to Phoenix Investment Arms, "the most trusted resource in Luger collectible guns". Their web site shows various SS, Afrikakorps, Hitler Youth and Reichsbahn Lugers, all identified by their accompanying belt buckles. I imagine that given a CSA belt buckle they could produce a Confederate Luger. Regards, Norm

The smell of cordite, blood and sweat hung heavy in the air! The rolling acrid smoke stung the young soldiers eyes as he peered through the haze of battle. Only faint moans of wounded soldiers muffled through the air and in the distance the faint clank of the machines of War from the retreating army. The soldier overwhelmed from the recent memories of the roar of battle, the cry of people being hit by small arms fire and artillery shrapnel stood in a daze remembering the recent senses reeling episodes of exploding shells, running and screaming people and all the other noises that made up the battle that had just concluded. Some of the smoke and haze cleared and the young soldier spied a German officer crumpled by several hits from a machine gun. He lay in an ackward crumpled heap that bespoke the violence of his death. Coming closer now………watching warily for any sign of life, the solider saw what he had long to find! A fine German pistol, or so he assumed, housed in a slightly blocky looking hard black case or holster as you yanks might call it. After certain the officer was stone cold dead, he removed the fine German pistol, glinting in the sunlight that was striving to clear the battle haze and smoke. IT WAS A LUGER, and real German Luger and upon close examination of the fine weapon, he knew he had found the personal weapon of the famous German General!! General Dieter Wilhelm Mauser!! For on the top of the toggle was inscribed the Generals initials in a fine scroll work! General DWM!!

the "blood etching" story is bogus...after intense research the following facts were determined.

Feb 15th, 1945.....In response to a B-17 raid, the crumbling Luftwaffe struggles to present resistance....Oberleutnant Friedrich "Fireball" Shickelgruber is ordered aloft in one of the few remaining ME-163 Komet rocket planes. As the takeoff wheels drop away and his climb begins, his aircraft collides with a large flock of rare Bavarian flamingos. Control surfaces damaged, the Oblt. is able to skilfully crash land in a nearby farmer's field. Aware of the highly combustible and corrosive nature of the 163's T-Stoff and C-Stoff fuels, Shickelgruber quickly throws back the canopy and runs from the plane. Curiously, despite smoke and fumes erupting , the 163 does not explode. Later, with the help of the local farmer he retrieves his once-prized Luger, now hopelessly ruined by the corrosive fuel. Three months later, Shickelgruber is captured by advancing American GIs. Having heard rumors of their insatiable lust for P08's, he tries to trade his for nylon stockings and Hershey bars. Given the horrible shape his Luger is in, he only manages a swap for a single can of C-ration "Ham and Eggs, Chopped" The GI throws the Luger in his dufflebag where it remains for the next 60 years until his surviving relatives sell it to a gunshop in Texas.
