My father used to talk about an engraved and fancy luger he found in a trailer home when he was a kid. He sold it to a friend of his for an astronomical price at the time after he broke the firing pin in it when he went plinking one day.
 ! He had a fascination for WWII era stuff as well, it kinda rubbed off on me I guess. He admired the P08, and almost bought a stainless luger made by Mitchell Arms.At some point in time, I got tired of hearing him go on about the dern things and I bought a parted out Erfurt, and that led to a DWM 1917, and THAT led to my beloved 1920 Commercial!!! I helped my dad get a S/42, and my DWM 1917 went to my little brother...my mom has no interest in them!  Sadly my dad passed on January 7th, 2012. I sorely miss him, I think he would've been pleased to have seen some of the guns we have collected since.
