Just scored this 1900 DWM American Eagle Luger. I have been looking for one of these for awhile now. And finally got a good price on one.

She is a beauty - I have been considering buying a gun for my Luftwaffe collection but to tell the truth I do not know enough to feel safe...

Great find. Condition is super. Pride in ownership goes with that one. Congratulation.

Thanks for the replies. John if you want a Luffwaffe Luger it would have to be a Krieghoff. Which are very pricy. If you ever decide to get a Luger. Let me know and I will help you stay on the straight and narrow path.

Thanks for the reply - any suggestions on online dealers I can browse to get an idea of prices?

simpsonltd.com is a good place to look but very pricy. Best bet is to check out Jan C Still's Luger forum on gunboards.com, the hard core Luger collectors their wont burn you.

Thanks

It would not have to be a Krieghoff, although this is a common feeling. Krieghoff made only about 13,000 lugers and there were a lot more issued to luftwaffe that were not just airmen (as an example, many air defense were issued pistols, but they belonged to the luftwaffe). So many tens of thousands of Mausers, reworks from the weimar period and WW1 reworks were all used by the luftwaffe.

I was tempted to also mention the KU but decided not to.

Ed - do you happen to have any examples in your collection you care to share some photos of?
