Wow, I searched for the imperial Lugers book on Amazon.com 2 copies available 1994 pressing. $799 each. Guess I will never have this book.

Don't go by that, u look long enough you could find one. Besides, Central Powers essentially replaced it, and w shipping its around $100

Curly1 · 11-14-2012, 10:35 PM

Yea buy the new version.

Vlim · 11-15-2012, 06:26 AM

Ditto. And you will pay Jan directly, so he actually makes the money, instead of someone else, who is trying to leach off his back

wayne8661 · 11-15-2012, 08:23 PM

Are these currently available from Jan or would I be better to check with him directly?

Edward Tinker · 11-15-2012, 08:33 PM

Jerry,
I will let you know. I did send Jan an Email to see if he has a copy of Central powers ( Thanks for the advice Ed)

If this is not possible I may be interested in your friends copy.

Wayne..No worries! I am sure Jan has a copy of Central Powers for you. I highly recommend it. A great book as all of his are! Anyone else who has not bought a copy had better do it too! When Jan runs out it will jump up to $250 or more..

I can't say for sure my Bud still has Imperial..He may have sold it already.

"Central Powers" has much of the material that is in "Imperial" but does not cover accessories in as much depth, also different guns, markings and minor variations exist between the two volumes. CP augments but does not totally supercede Imperial. Both books are a boon. If you can find and afford both, they are essential to a well-rounded library.

Ron, good reminder.
