Your first Luger! | Collector's Guide

One of the most iconic handguns that is immediately recognizable worldwide is the Luger. It has an unmistakable silhouette, an unmistakable action, and been traditionally used by most WWI and WWII villains in television and movies. Clearly people like collecting these guns, but they can be expensive, especially if you make a mistake and overpay. This video focuses on the 1920s Commercial and why I think this may be the best Luger to first add to your collection.

The reason I think the 1920s Commercial may be the best introduction to Luger collecting is that:
• 1920s Commercials are plentiful
• 1920s Commercials are less frequently touched up
• 1920s Commercials are not faked all that often
• 1920s Commercials are the least expensive.

Most importantly, learning the fundamentals of Lugers by studying a 1920s Commercial should impart knowledge on Luger blueing, finishing, heat treatments, and proofing that should help you as you advance to more rare and expensive Lugers.
