{{{ However, never sell a shooter as a collectible, buyer will get mad on you for understandable reason. That's also moral standard issue. To sell a collectible as shooter or not, that's up to you }}}

For shooter Luger (or other types), I cannot think needing many them. One should be enough. No need to acquire a few of those. If do have interest on another shooter, better sell the current one to finance the next one.

One shooter!

I suppose I'm nuts, but I have 6 or 8 shooter lugers and a couple shooter brooms; I've even got 3 or 4 shooter .25 autos.

One is not enough!

Without looking I can remember these shooter lugers:
-4" 9mm G date mismatch
-4" 9mm on Brazilian grip safety frame
-4" 7,65mm commercial
-6" 7,65mm commercial
-6" 1906 Navy shooter
-8" 1914 Erfurt artillery, matching, but a shooter as it is polished and re-blued
-2.75" 9mm or 7,65mm baby I made
-16" 9mm carbine , I assembled, almost too pretty to shoot, but I have; I also have an 11.5" 7,65mm upper for it.

- oops, almost forgot the 1900 AE in 7,65mm

On the drawing board are plans for a .45 and .357 sig; these may be single shot unless I can figure out a way to "make" a magazine or convert the frame to feed!

I know, I'm sick; lugeritis and OC Luger disorder.
There is no cure.
