Rich,
Both guns are 9mm. Still, a good selection if you could only have two

spartacus38 · 05-24-2011, 09:34 PM

I don't think I could come up with only 2.

I would like to chose 3 Lugers in 9m/m of my choice;that I think I could do.

So maybe I will start a thread with the choice of 3.

spartacus38 · 05-24-2011, 09:43 PM

OK I have thought about it and I would choose 3 9m/m Lugers.

Number 1 1914 DWM Artillery

Number 2 1916 DWM Navy

Number 3 1934 K-Date Navy Luger

A Luger and another Luger.

Edward Tinker · 05-25-2011, 01:39 AM

I always think limiting to something like this is, well.... but I do like to play along too

1900 AE Test

1925 Simson

As I recall, Michael Reese in his "Luger Tips" book list a 7 gun collection containing all standard FACTORY length barrels, calibers and all pre 1946 manufactures (7 if you include Vickers --- DWM, Erfurt, Simson, Swiss WF Bern, Mauser & Kreighoff). An interesting concept. TH

Mac Cat · 09-05-2016, 02:20 PM

Today, I would want one luger carbine and one 9mm LP08, with kits and a case of loaded snail drum magazines.

kurusu · 09-05-2016, 02:36 PM

M2 Portuguese contract for the 7,65. (which I have).

Portuguese Royal Navy contract for the 9. (which I don't have and don't expect to acquire

).

Wow! Just noticed this was a very old thread.

MFC · 09-05-2016, 10:42 PM

It's an old thread but still fun...

7.65mm - M1898 Prototype S#1
9mm - M1904 Navy S#1

Curss · 09-06-2016, 08:47 AM

Just a good shooter grade Erfurt 1914 LPO8 in 9MM with stock and drum, and a standard 1920 commercial PO8 in 7.65.

cirelaw · 09-06-2016, 09:15 AM

Two Cartridge Counters~

John Sabato · 09-06-2016, 12:53 PM

Mine are simple... No 9mm or 7.65mm

Two .45 caliber Lugers... both of the original Lugers for the U.S. Army Pistol Tests with all original accessories.
