An "original' military nickle plated Luger -Yeah right!

Hey John D.

I actually had one of those in 1975... Paid about the same as Al Eggers... and believe it or not, it WAS nickle plated. Boy could that piece shoot!

I traded it for a brand new steel frame combat commander and some cash which was used to have Lewis W. Seecamp turn the Commander into the .45 Double-action that I posted a photo of some time back. I still have that baby... it has been a faithful companion.

Don't think I would give it up, but I might trade it for a .45 caliber Luger. Trade even of course!

BTW, I didn't realize that you could use an animated GIF file for an avatar. That one is great! I will have to use my imagination to come up with a new one in my SPARE time.
