I've been working on my photography skills and decided to take some photos of Lugers in my collection and post them here. Most of my other photos are of P.38's posted on our sister forum.

The pistol on display has two matched mags.

That's really nice - I assume you used a lightbox? What was the surface the subject rested on?

It is in a light cube with four 600 watt spots on three sides and the top. The cube sits on a glass table with a 250 watt spot under it. The color temperature is balanced for the light with the camera on a manual setting.
