I want my Luger back

[tharpo]

What is very sad is that he died on April 27, 1945 and the war ended 11 days later on May 8.

As a whole, most of the bring back pistols I have seen are in nice condition. The ones that are worn slick probably got the most of their wear (and abuse) after they came back. The hardshell Luger holster did a good job of supporting the pistol and the muzzle end, side plate, and frame rails were the only spots that normally show much wear.

This is true, however P-08's generally in one way or another tend to have had some form of restoration done to them....Gets tough knowing which ones haven't been messed with.....Bodes

My uncle was killed April 19th of '45, less than three weeks before the war ended in Europe....They always say, how do you ask somebody to be the last to die in a war whose outcome has already been determined?....Bodes

Generally I have not found the GI bring backs for the most part to be restorations. It doesn't matter what you collect, knowing what is original and what is not is most important.
