1916 Navy Luger to my collection

[Rick W.]

I reckon to me,............... they are indeed a dime a dozen. Whether they are to others or not, is really up to those folks. I am glad people have a sense of history, as it reminds us of our past, good and bad.

I just cannot place funny money on some iron and steel that high anymore, those folks that made up all of those, lost two wars and their people suffered greatly. With a last name like I got, kinda hits home still.

I know that a lot of this variation was lost, and not recovered. Does not do a lot for the storied mystique for me really.

The poster has a very nice pistol, really both of them from my point of view. The one with the aperature rear sight is the more interesting, after all these years of gun accumulating. I bet it shoots well, a good friend in Berlin did a pistol up like that and shot it on the same range as G. Luger was a previous member.

Value has context..................always will.

Hope you and yours are well up that way, John.
