Editorial Reviews
Review
Finally someone has taken a serious look at the truly unique arena of the Weimar Era Lugers. Although ever present, this group of mysterious Lugers has caused confusion and conflict among the collecting fraternity. This book points out the historic importance of these Lugers and brings order out of chaos with the practical application of new documentation to observed data. Weimar Era Lugers hold a distinct place of importance to any serious collector of German arms. Each pistol has its own character and many have a rich history. Jan Still has added yet another classic to his fabulous series of reference works. -- From the Publisher
