Tom,
That is a treasure. It has to rank up there in the top 1% of surviving LP08 rigs. It just doesn't get much better than that. Takes my breath away.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
The camera I used is a Canon 30D. The tough part for me is getting the lighting right.
Here is the holster, cleaning rod, and tool that came with the gun.
The 1915 A. PH. HOFFMANN holster has suffered over the years more than the luger as a lot of the stitching is coming loose.
The rod and tool are unmarked and I don't know enough about them to know if they are correct.
