What was your first Luger?/ What got you into collecting Lugers?

Eric,

The Italian gun Law is much more permissive than in other European countries. To own one or more weapons you need a Gun License, of which there are three versions, Personal Defense, Hunting, and for Sport. A maximun of nine guns, plus an indefinite number of "hunting" long guns can be held upon POLICE registration.
There is also the so called Collector's License under which only one specimen per type of weapon can be held, so you can't have for instance more than one specimen of Mauser S34 with the same caliber, marks, and year of manufacture.
