wow, looks like a nice honest piece (and really nice one).

I need to start looking and seeing how many have letters underneath the sideplate...

Anna,

An excellent presentation, and I hope the first of many from your new collection. If I may be so bold to suggest, if you take photographs for your next Luger profile against something other than a white background, the dark gun itself will bemuch better exposed and lighter in the pictures.

Thanks, Dwight, I almost kinda noticed that when I was trying to get some bitty tiny eagles to show up, it worked better against the dark fabric of my pants.
Confused the camera less.
I will do better next time, promise.
I have learned what *good* Luger photography looks like since I have been on this forum.
Now I get to try to attain that myself, and I am NOT a photo person, trust me.

Trying to pick the next one to photograph for y'all...

The Prototype?
Some Krieghoffs?
The 06 Presentation?
AEs?

What's your pleasure?

Anna,
OMG!!! Are you talking about a 1898 or 1899 prototype? That's my pick to be next.

Mike, my answer to her question (to myeslf) was, yes...

I vote prototype, then AE's

StarOfTheWest · 01-09-2008, 09:53 AM

I will post on the "Prototype" later today, after I get some pics.
No, not an 1898 or 99 variety, but a 1902 9mm with a tiny screw through the toggle top over the toggle lock, purported to be a Prototype Experimental 9mm.
I dunno, I will let you all see it and tell me what you think.
The deeper I get into this collection, the more questions I seem to have.
Thanks to all for the kind posts.
