I've got 2. The 1st one was passed down from my father. He acquired it in the 60s or 70s. He bought it from a customer at his bank. They came to an agreement of $25 sight unseen. A couple days later the guy brought it into the bank. Upon seeing it, the 1st thing my dad did was balk at the price, and offered him $75 for it. The guy refused, and held firm to the agreed price. The story given to my dad was the guy's brother was in Germany as the Germans were retreating to Berlin. They came upon some fresh dirt and dug up 2 crates of Lugers, in factory cosmoline paper. And everyone got 1, with a holster. He sent it home to his brother to hold, but was KIA before he got home to it. The brother subsequently shot 1 mag out of it, and put it up. My dad bought the numbers matching (including mag), mint condition, 1938 s/42. We never shot the pistol in the 50+/- years we've had it.
My father died in 2001, still wanting a shooter grade Luger. Some 13 or 14 years later I was still wanting to shoot one, and finally bit the bullet, so-to-speak. I found a 1916/1920 double date DWM for $1k, and jumped on it. This one was also in excellent condition from the 1920 arsenal rebuild, and is also all numbers matching. (Though as I understand it, some of these were force matched. But all the numbers look original compared to the Russian force matched that I'm used to.) But alas, this one was bought to shoot. I take it out a few times a year, and thoroughly enjoy it when I do.
