Born near Dresden. She told me as long as I had gold I'll always have bread! Unfortunatly I had to replace it years later! Her Uncle Al also passed down some currency. My Mom framed it and that why it in such wonderful comdition. We had a duty to pass our valuables including our lugers with the same respect! I just noticed Mom was born in 1920 the date on the eagle. I'm sure Grandman had to notice it!

Eric, I must say I admire your vision on this one. When you introduced gold coins on the forum 2-3 years ago, it was "only" $1000/oz. Hindsight says you're right.

I got to thinking on this a bit, i never realy hung on to the others, more or less bought them to turn a profit, may have fired one or two and that was it. So i would say my luger collecting began, with these two. A 1929 dwm police and 1918 1920 dwm. both i am rather fond of. From now on i am looking out for others. thanks again for all the help.

Beautiful pistols, padredan. I keep thinking I should be shadowing you whilst you hunt down Lugers so that I could learn your secrets! You do keep turning up interesting examples.
