Default Re: RARE

All Luger Navies are on the rare side. Production numbers do not count. When a ship was destroyed in battle, a rescuing ship did not go bach for the men yet alone the guns. Any ship that slowed down or stopped was a sitting duck.If you got a good navy, you got a prize.


The first three battle ships destroyed by torpedo in WW1 were sunk because they stopped to pick up men. All navies learned a big lesson fast.


When the Bismark was sunk, all the British ships got out of there before all the survivors were resued because they thought a German sub was in the vacinity.


I think that there were 100 lugers on each German battleship and untold numbers on all the subs in both wars. So again, production numbers do not count. Oil you prize a lot.
