The story behind your most unusual Luger acquisition? (long post)

Well, you all have heard of the Luger/P.38 presentation story I did back in '98 to two of my best buddies and my father in law. My wife kind of had her feelings hurt because she didnt get a Luger, so I bought my first 1920 Commercial that was is really poor shape (it's the one int he FAQ section in the before and after pics for the grip cleanup) I redid it and showed it to her and told her (a lie) that I bought it to fix it up and sell it at a gun show. She started to cry and I knew why (I was going to wrap it up and give it to her for CHRISTMAS) and so I spilled the beans and presented it to her early (June) She loves that Luger and shoots it ever so often. That is her "Baby". I was lucky enough to get her to shoot with me in a couple of "couple" bowling pin matchs. She is tremendous and views all my work with a critical eya and a thumbs up or down on the work. I love her dearly and she puts up with me!!.........I guess that's fair! Ted
