Luger History Query

Wonder if any of you folks might be able to help with a bit of historical detail.


I am writing a screenplay that takes place in 1944 Switzerland. An encounter takes place in a hotel between a Swiss businessman and a high ranking Nazi officer (in uniform) during which they make small talk about the German's gun. The businessman is a gun enthusiast and recognizes the officer's gun as unusual. He comments on it and the reply from the Nazi is something like "Yes, it's a personal favorite; I'm a bit of a dinosaur, I'm afraid."


I need to identify a specific gun which might have been known for its accuracy and overall quality to a discerning gun aficionado, but would be somewhat rare and "out-of-style" by 1943-44. If anyone can supply specific detail, I would be much obliged to receive an e-mail.


Thanks very much for your assistance!
