Imperial Vs. WWII

Hi Jerry, As someone who collects both WWI and WWII Lugers, I have to say that I find WWI much more interesting. For one thing there is more mechanical diversity, and the historical events in which these guns participated is even more dramatic than in WWII. However, younger collectors seem to be ignorant of WWI history and are fascinated with Nazi brutality. As a result the earlier Lugers are a bargain, in my opinion. Regards, Norm.
P.S. When at a gun show it's best to keep your eyes open and your ears closed!
