Luger Help

[Ron Smith]

Hi Stu,
There is nothing wrong with a luger that has seen use. Some prefer them, due to the fact that they were probably used in combat.


There was a time, not all that long ago, that you could pick up double dates dirt cheap, because no one wanted them. Not anymore.


I talk with a couple of advanced collectors that believe the Russian and East German guns will become coveted collectable grade pistols in their own category at some point in the future.

As far as what is affordable to you. Buy what you can afford and enjoy it,I do. I would love to collect unit marked Navy lugers, but for what I would pay for one. I can buy three very nice Imperial or Weimar unit marked lugers. (My fetish.)

Don't let someone elses elitist attitude deter you from what you enjoy or can afford. Most gun snobs are all show and no go, usually just braggards. I enjoy owning a rare gun, but it's the history that makes me keep looking. If I like it ,I buy it, if and when I can afford it.
