Good for you Robert, and congratulations again.

You are approaching this in what is probably the very best way. It looks like your shooter was conservatively buffed and nicely done. Kudos to the seller that made it available to you.

You'll probably find over time that the history associated with these fine pistols, and the friendships you establish in the collecting community are just as satisfying as the Lugers themselves...

Take the time to get some of the reference books. In particular, the Sturgess red set on "The Borshardt and Luger Automatic Pistols". It is probably the most comprehensive study of any object I've seen in any field. Valuable information as your interest in Lugers progresses. And yes - the book is expensive, and worth every penny.

Marc
