What Got You Hooked On Lugers?
Steve Mcqueen escaping fro the Germans and plastered a poster. I bought my first a 1906 French and my last a 1902 Fat Barrel. What got me hooked is more than the guns but over 20 years of friendship. Its seems there is some aspect I learn daily. The friendships are permanent. You are a large art of my happiness and daily life! Eric

I got hooked on Lugers from playing the original, World War 2 themed Call of Duty games as a kid. It just took another 15 years after I told myself I’d own one for it to come true.

I think my first notable toy gun was the "Fanner 50." I also had the nice leather holster for it. Not long thereafter, I added a "Shootin' Shell" model to my "collection,: and it was a somewhat down-scaled SAA look-alike. The Shootin'Shell .45 was 9" https://www.nicholscapguns.com/mattel.htm Lugers? Jeez, musta been those ads on the backs of comics. Their shape is somehow compelling to me, and I've picked up a handful of examples beginning some 50+ years later.
