Imperial Vs. WWII

DJU I think I know what you mean on the too much money invested in models of their preference. One of the guys I talked to at the show who said the WWI's were nothing special, had seven WWII models on his table, none for sale, just for show and wanted to buy my 1915 DWM for a shooter since he felt the WWI's weren't as collectable. He had nice looking pieces from what I could see, if they were matching it's hard to tell. It's all rather new to me with lugers, but I will say the mystique, the pride in ones collection and the history is all very overpowering to say the least. I do thank evryone here for all their help and info though very much.

Yes...I know that guy...He's at every gun show that ever existed...His weapons are priceless; yours are junk...But because he's such a nice guy, he'll give you a couple bucks for your piece...

Well, my all time favorites are at opposite ends of the time line: the 1900-02s are just pure gorgeous art, and the same can be said of the Krieghoffs.

ALL Lugers attract me, just some more than others.
So, my collection is all over the time frames, could never just settle down to one make or era.
