Just posted my entire collection on the Gallery

Doug G. · 01-16-2004, 08:24 PM

Just thought I would let the members know that I posted photo's of every Luger I own (except for one doggy shooter)

I hope you all enjoy them, it took me 5 days to do all the shots, editing and posting, but I think it was worth it!

Doug,

I get a Fatal error when I click on the link. Don't know what that is, but fatal sounds bad.

Edward Tinker · 01-16-2004, 08:32 PM

Doug, I will go and enjoy! Last time they were very nice, so I expect the same!

Thank you Ed, the link worked for me now.

Doug,
You have a wonderful collection and thanks for taking the time and effort to post them so we could all enjoy. I see you might be missing a 1939-S/42. You need to get one, they are beautiful guns. Also, you might think about a 98% K-Date. Just kidding. I tried counting them but couldn't go that high!

Doug,
That is marvelous photography and a truly outstanding collection. Your Lugers are flat knock your socks off beautiful. Few people can appreciate the time (years!) and effort that goes into assembling such fine examples. You have done wonders. I am impressed. Thank you for letting this group of Luger enthusiasts share the fruits of your labor. It is an education.

minigun · 01-18-2004, 11:12 AM

I totally agree. Thanks for sharing your interesting collection. It probably did take years to assemble such an impressive collection.

What about an S/42 1938 Luger? Didn't see one (or was that the "doggie" one you stated you didn't show?).

It's darn near a complete collection.

mauro · 01-18-2004, 11:40 AM

What a beautiful collection!

In particular I have really appreciate your Arty number 1126 w/ matching stock. A rare item.

Thank you for sharing with us your beauties.

Ciao

Doug G. · 01-18-2004, 11:41 AM

Thank you all for your wonderful compliments. I knew that the members of this forum could appriciate the work that I have done. I have been collecting Lugers on and off for about 15 years. I have always had a weakness for them; maybe it's a sickness? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> But I just can't stop trying to get more. Up until lately I have not really had a collecting plan, but now I have decided to go for the Imperial era guns. I have not decided if I will part with the others, but who knows?

Minigun, I do not as of yet have a 1938 S/42, but as always I will keep looking. I believe that 1938 was a low production year.
