A Few Luger Pictures

ToggleTop · 11-28-2004, 09:37 PM

Hello,

Here's a few luger pictures I have collected. Look close one of the lugers may be one or more of yours. I believe there may be a HK in at least one of the pictures.

I apologize for some of the pictures not being very clear but it was the best I could do.

Great photos Chester. Especially the first one, of the SS troopers.
I've been collecting WWI postcard photos. They are very interesting. They do make you wonder if just maybe that's one of your pistols.

Neat group of pictures. Thanks for sharing them. I like the .22 conversion in the last photo.

Chester... GREAT Photos! and here is a hint... once you have digitized these old photos... all it takes is one click to turn them into greyscale with a graphics program like Paint Shop Pro... and you would be suprised at the detail that is brought out by the elimination of the yellow aging of the paper... here is an example using one of your photos above:

Excellent images! Keep them coming!

John; I use Paint Shop Pro 8 and Photoshop CS, they both work great! Photoshop got some extra tools and many find it more "professional", but I find it a bit tricky to use sometimes.

Toggletop; thanks for sharing those great images!

Was it common not to use hearing protection during target practise? Never heard of a genuin WW2 hearing protection, but that might be because my hearing is a bit damaged

John Sabato · 11-30-2004, 12:36 PM

Paint Shop Pro is my favorite Graphics program... almost intuitive to use... I have been using it since version 2...
