was just wondering if Vitorio Bobba paravellum luger is worth getting? it has been republished and is going for about 30 bucks much more affordable than the prices I have seen it go for in the past
thanks Ed

Hello Ed,

The Bobba book is great with lots of good info. on all Swiss lugers; DWM, Bern, and Mauser models.

It is a large, over-sized edition with lots of close-up photos showing certain aspects of Swiss lugers that can help a novice (...certainly me...) understand what is proper and authentic.

You will see some of the most minty, museum quality Swiss lugers, ever.

The text is written in both Italian and in English; which is fun as well...

I paid $ 100.00 for a brand new one, 6 months ago. If the price has dropped; you should go for it !!!

Regards,
