As addictive as these are, understand that you have a very fine example from a great period and great manufacturer.

Bob's store is quite an experience. Be prepared to be overwhelmed. It's an interesting town too... He's right next to the railway museum and a couple of good restaurants. Ask Bob to show you his Luger room...

Bob sells an outstanding reference book he published for Geoff Sturgess called "The Borschart and Luger Automatic Pistol". It's expensive, and worth every penny.

Marc, thank you for your comments on the firing pin. That is reassuring to here. Yes, I am getting addicted to this hobby very quickly.

I am thinking about a road trip to Simpson LTD this weekend. From their website, the store and the guns and accessories that they have look incredible. This could be an expensive trip if I am not careful. LOL

Lastly, I moved to IL from NC. My ancestors are from NC.
