Commercial Luger Book
As will probably come as a surprise to no one, I have been pondering writing a book on commercial Lugers for awhile, and now it is time to announce my commitment to the project.
Prospective contents include: Commercial Luger categories and variations Commercial military, police, and foreign purchases Commercial Luger profiles Collecting Commercial accessories Detecting forgeries and fakes The Commercial Database Most photographs at 100% scale, in color. This project will not be finished any time soon, there is a lot to be done and I work very…deliberately (just ask Ed!), but I am excited to be moving ahead with it. --Dwight |

Dwight,
that is super news, and will fill a huge gap in available Luger literature. If I can help in any way, just ask. Deciding when you should "stop writing" and start publishing will be the toughest part; you will never reach the "end" . So please don't let the perfect be the enemy of the "good".

Don, I believe that Jan Still was working on a volume 4 to his luger series (Imperial, Weimar & Third Reich) on this topic. WHAT'S UP? TH
