Some questions

Hello Rich,

Another way to go, without buying books, would be to start reading the last year of very good info. about lugers and their operation and care right here on our Luger Forum. This might be a good read that would take a couple of days.

You would also need to go into your "Profile" to set back the number of days you can read old, previous threads. You do this in the cell titled "Default Topic View".

The books by Still are worthy of being in anyone's luger library, but some of the older ones (by Fred Datig, Harry Jones, John Walter, Michael Reese) are also good (thought may not be current and up-to-date) but give you a good appreciation of the luger collecting field over the past 50-60 years.

Reading all of the authors gives you an idea into the advanced collector's and expert's world and how some of these folks have disagreed with each other over the years. Yes, there is a little ego involved in writing luger books...

Other good books that specialize in certain lugers are Randal Gibson's "Krieghoff Parabellum", Martens & DeVrise "The Dutch Luger", and V. Bobba's "The Swiss Parabellum" book.

Finally, you will always find good folks here ready to answer questions you might have, once you have your pistols home. Posting good photos of your lugers always helps folks on this Forum give you more meaningful and specific answers, as well...

Regards,

Pete...
