It passed through many owners and three different volatile periods and wound up in my hands! Priceless! These are more valuable to me than any prototypes. Every luger played it own individual role in world history! Their lives continue passing on to every following chapter of life. Really ownership is mearly a right to possess for a time until past on. Its great if we can provide some of its past even if we will never knew the names of its prior owners but can often trace it military accomplishments through it markings~ Nothing else come close! ~Eric

+10,
Got to love the history contained on and in these pieces!
That is one reason i like the police Lugers so much, most of them had at least two lives; and many three, and a few four!

I hope I have an Imperial, Weimar, Nazi, Vopo on the way - even as we write!
