    Default Info on Lugers

    Hello everyone! i was at the Big E gunshow on saturday completely set on purchasing a Luger when I came to the realization I didn't know squat about them. (of course I didnt leave empty handed...chock up one new nickle plated .44 mag D.E. for me!) I know I wanted one with the "Eagle above the swastika" stamp (for shock value) but I wasn't sure if the nazis actually stamped them this way or if the one's I see online were stamped after the war. Anyway, to rid myself of this ignorance (and to know what all the other markings mean) I was wondering if anyone could suggest some decent literature to read up on? I'd really appreciate it! I want to know enough so that in April I can go to the Marlborough gun show as a luger semi-expert!

    My dad has a P38 with a stamping like that and his was a bringback. I suspect the Lugers were stamped too.

    Show me ANY law that would have stopped any of the school shootings.

    Freedom has ceased to be a birthright; it has come to mean whatever we are still permitted to do.

    Compromise means never having the best solution.

    A lot of valuable info is also on this board http://www.lugerforum.com/
    "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?
    Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself....
    you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"
