"The Luger Pistol" by Datig

colcolombo · 09-10-2003, 11:41 AM

Would like some knowledgable opinions about the book "The Luger Pistol" by Datig (208 pages). Believe it is circa 1955.

Many thanks.

This is a great book, although somewhat dated... It was the first Luger book I ever read. Much information has been uncovered since the book was written and published, but I would still want it in my library because it contains much information not really covered in other references... such as interviews with August Weiss...

It comes up for sale on ebay quite often and I have seen it sold for as little as $10 and as much as $30 depending on condition and whether or not it is the first printing or the second printing (1960's)...

Buy it... you won't be sorry.

John,

Is this a great site or what???? No matter the question, there is SOMEONE out there that has the correct and proper answer.

I really value your opinion and I thank you.

Best regards,
