I discovered my one and only Luger high up on the shelf in the coner of my father's closet. I didn't actually take possession until after he died and it was many years later that I took it to the range after I had Mike Krause check it out. My father always told me it had a weak spring but that was not so. My father made the grips, inspired by the sweetheart grips he made for a WWI vintage Spanish Izarra he obtained in France during WWII. I still have the original grips for the gun, as well.
