Best book for yearly production by maker

Jasta2 · 01-30-2010, 01:01 PM

Hello,
What would be the best Luger book to buy that would contain the yearly Luger production figures by manufacture? Say, how many 1910 DWMs, or 1911 Erfurts were made. Iknow there any many books out there, some as high a $1,000! Beyond my afordability. Does Jan Still's book about 'Central Powers' contain this info?
Thanks,Bill

Bill, I assume you mean WW1 era?

As there is ;

Commericial pre WW1

WW1 military and commericial

Weimar military, police and commericial

Nazi era military, police and commericial

Lugers cover 45 years being made by 7 manufacturers, so...

Yes, buying many books cover a lot of areas.

Have you read the review of Jan Still's book by Dwight Gruber?
