Default The mystique of the Luger!

Seeing as how most of you on this board appreciate the fine craftsmanship of Smith & Wesson handguns, it occurred to me that some of you might also appreciate the European version of fine craftsmanship typified by Luger pistols. Once upon a time when Lugers were more plentiful and considerably cheaper than they are now, I had a fairly nice collection of them. Over the years, my affections changed and I disposed of most of them in trade. I did keep one of my Lugers as a representative sample of the breed. If you have one or more of the Parabellum pistols, bring 'em out, photograph them, and post them here!

This one, made by Mauser in 1936, still has its original 1936-dated holster. It was a WWII souvenir bring-back.
