it just seems so sinister and I'd never possess any myself. I understand the historical significance though, a lesson hard learned for history. Not knocking it if it's your bag, I'm just not interested in owning it. But this picture of this piece was very interesting. Very artistic and sinister at the same time. Sort of a train wreck but powerful emotionally. Looks like a Walther PP, they liked the .32 ACP.

Another picture of a movie with Samuel Jackson, It looks interesting and I'd like to look into it maybe. The Safari get up and Nitro cartridges.

Lastly I found a picture of a historic "Bear hunting suit". That's what it said. I guess you smear honey on yourself and try to outrun it and hold out if it catches you.

I recently bought a1938 dated Wafenam marked Luger for the most part I like guns with history. As near as I can tell this one is a Russian Front capture piece.

classy guns. We built 100 stainless Lugers a few years

back. I kept saying I would keep one but never did. Bill Firman has one. He is the only one I know of that has one of the 100.

Gary as luck would have I knew a guy named Ron Martin who worked at the frito plant in casa grande he has one of your Lugers. I tried a few times to cheat him out of it.

translation is: "The picture of Samuel L Jackson in this post came from the Tarzan movie.". Maybe?

That is neat

I never knew about your Lugers. Gives me something else for which to keep an eye out.

An amazing amount of machining in there.

Lugers on display with about 40 other custom guns. An older fellow walked up and I thought I was seeing a ghost. He was Ed Sullivan's brother, maybe twin brother, I don't remember, but he was like a twin to Ed. he told me who he was and wanted to buy the Luger. That Luger's serial number was REEDER-1 and I had wanted to keep it. I told him it was just for show. He said "well if you were to sell it, what would you take for it?" Again I told him I didn't plan on selling it but if I did it would be around $3500. he said OK, just wondering. Late that day he walked back up to my table and laid down a big wad of $100 bills. He smiled and said "there is your $3500, give me my gun". I had quoted him a price and couldn't back down on it, so I walked over to the table where they did the paperwork, shook his hand and told him to enjoy it.

A couple of years later I was down to my last Luger, this one serial number GNR-1 if I remember right. On this one Bill Firman did pretty much the same thing and ended up buying it. I think that is the one in the picture here. So I ended up with none of the 100 guns. No big deal. They were built to sell, but it would have been nice to keep one of them.
