Eight Luger Makers

[Dick Herman]

Here are pictures of my Luger collection that represent the eight manufacturers of these pistols. In sequential order from left to right: DWM, Erfurt, Spandau, Bern Waffenfabrik, Vickers, Simson, Krieghoff and Mauser.

I am pleased with my Luger makers collection even though there are issues regarding legitimate manufactures. I know that Vickers assembled pistols made with components manufactured by DWM. And yes, the Spandau is probably a fake, but how many real Spandau Lugers exist?
