Love of Lugers-How it all started

[ronin]

Thor, my story is exactly like yours.

Can�´t exactly remember when exactly this happened but its undeniable that in my country, besides the fact that there were a ton of old war movies always on TV, there�´s always been a subliminal pro-german (should i dare say nazi?) feeling. Therefore, most used to vouch for the bad guys and drool at their way cool uniforms and superior hardware.

Luger first among all of it. I guess the Luger is the first gun i�´ve ever desired, i remember having many of those metal reproductions that fire caps that are still found at ebay every now and then. They sure bring back nice memories.

A couple of years ago i had the opportunity to visit a small city in the middle of my country. This is one of the few comunities where some of the survivors of the Graff Spee settled down after the battle of the Rio de la Plata (that�´s what we call it here). Let me tell youy that that town has enshrined the Graff Spee and the whole story behind it.
