Luger Identification

Thanks Guys:
I appreciate the kind words. My Dad was never a big fan of hand guns and as a hunter preferred rifes and shotguns. I asked him why he hung to the Lugers as he usually complained that he could never hit anything with it. He told me that he loved the German craftmanship and design of the Luger. Quote "They're never going to be able to pound thousands of these things out in some third world stamping plant and you'll never see one on sale at the K-Mart."

Karl, I suspect that you are right about the logo.
A couple of my friends are checking with some reputable collectors here in Canada to determine what our options are. It may be possible to ship the gun to my sister who lives in the states and avoid all the mess.

Bye the Way, it appears that the situation that my mother finds herself in is far from unique. I've been told that it is a buyers market for handguns and other unregistered/prohibited weapons in Canada right now. People who don't have proper permits (very difficult to obtain) for these weapons could have them confiscated and face significant fines efective Jan. 01,2003. With the low value of the Canadian dollar and no home market you folks in the "Land of the Free" might be able to find some real good buys over the next couple of months.

Once again thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what happens.
