well, I have never heard of it.

I have several lugggger books; I like (kind of in order) Weimar Lugers, Imperial Lugers, third Reich Lugers, Gibson (for designs and pictures), Kenyon, and then it is excellent to have Jones and Datig, both old and have their faults, but a must have for any collection.

There are also lots of other books for specialities, Mauro's Artillery, Bobba's books, etc., the Reese book on the Test Luger is fascinating...

I sent you a PM about Chattanooga...

AUTO MAG CONVENTION, AUG 19, 20, 21

The National Auto Pistol Collectors Association (NAPCA) invites you to attend its annual convention. Enjoy Chattanooga in August (19,20,21): southern charm, semi-autos, and sterling camaraderie. NAPCA is an organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge and enjoyment of auto-loading pistols through the dissemination of information and the exchange of ideas.

For additional information about NAPCA and their convention (including becoming a NAPCA member, a must for convention attendance) please visit the NAPCA website (http://www.napca.net/) or contact Tom Knox (NAPCA, P.O. Box 15738 St Louis, MO 63163 or napca1@gtw.net).

Last year there was a small navy luger display put on by Tom, Dereck & Leo.

(small = 4 tables)
