My Learning Library Is Growing...

Pete Ebbink · 06-30-2002, 09:27 PM

With good advice from many Forum members, I have been slowly building up my luger reference library.

Ok, if you look real close you will see a couple of P-38 books, as well...

The nice color poster I picked up from a fellow at the Tulsa Gun Show...did not get his name unfortunately...but I think Ralph Shattuck may know him...

Pete, Nice poster. you have quite a few good books too. Last winter I picked up The Krieghoff parabellum and just finished reading the Dutch Luger history. I have been collecting for awhile now but both of these books showed me a few things I had not managed to learn. I highly recomend both of these. While you are not likely to run into too many Dutch Lugers it is still fun to learn their history. Jerry Burney
