Herb,

What a nice collection of weapons et al...

There are some very nice Swiss weapons and the nicest Swiss model 1882 (4th. variation) revolver I have ever seen, that is not in a museum...

And then not to mention that mint 1934 Swiss-Mauser luger...!!! I am in shock...

Thanks for letting us know about this site.

Do you know who is the collector ?

Can you invite him to the Luger Forum ?

Are any of his pistols for sale ???

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />

Herb,
You can add my thanks for this find.
I especially Liked the Ideal Holster / Stock layout. Why Not?, Its the Genuine One. Ha, Ha!

The site belongs to Chuck Whittaker. He has some fabulous guns and does a lot of research on early Luger details and variations. He is a private collector and not a dealer. Pete, I think you may have met him at Tulsa around Ralph Shattuck's table.

What I would give to have a time machine and go back in time and snatch a few of those navy rigs. I wonder if they would be 1906's or 1908's? I don't think that I have ever even seen a full, all matching, navy rig.
