Jumping Down The Rabbit Hole and In Search of Good Imperial Lugers

Andy Welcome to the Forum. I still believe that 98% or better Imperial lugers are very very scarce. In 45 years of collecting I have seen very few. And probably some of them were refinished. At least what I consider 98%. Pretty difficult for a 100 year old gun,used in war, to be in that shape unless helped. Personally I prefer a little wear on mine. To many people messing with them. I do know for a fact there are more 98% lugers now than 45 years ago. I wonder why? Bill
