A Few Luger Pictures
Hello,
Here's a few luger pictures I have collected. Look close one of the lugers may be one or more of yours. I believe there may be a HK in at least one of the pictures.

Great photos Chester. Especially the first one, of the SS troopers.
I've been collecting WWI postcard photos. They are very interesting. They do make you wonder if just maybe that's one of your pistols. Ron

Neat group of pictures. Thanks for sharing them. I like the .22 conversion in the last photo.

Chester... GREAT Photos! and here is a hint... once you have digitized these old photos... all it takes is one click to turn them into greyscale with a graphics program like Paint Shop Pro... and you would be suprised at the detail that is brought out by the elimination of the yellow aging of the paper... here is an example using one of your photos above:

John; I use Paint Shop Pro 8 and Photoshop CS, they both work great! Photoshop got some extra tools and many find it more "professional", but I find it a bit tricky to use sometimes.
Toggletop; thanks for sharing those great images! Was it common not to use hearing protection during target practise? Never heard of a genuin WW2 hearing protection, but that might be because my hearing is a bit damaged

Paint Shop Pro is my favorite Graphics program... almost intuitive to use... I have been using it since version 2...
