Beautiful lugers ! I just got a really nice 1921 9mm military luger and I found it in Jan Stills luger book. My serial numbers match what the book calls the first set of military alphabet lugers sold to the German military.

PSA as good as the Lugers. Both my parents had heart disease, heart attacks, didn’t eat enough Mrs. Dash, so I turned into a gun-person vegetarian. Highly recommended for joint health. Dad served in post-war Germany, 1st trumpeter, army band, making the world safe for democracy one Sousa march at a time. Stay healthy.

I agree with not ignoring symptoms concerning your heart. In June I experienced chest burning and back pain. Being a retired ER nurse, I drove myself to the ER. I ended up with a catheterization with two vessel blockage of 95%! I never had a cardiac or cholesterol history. Five stents later and I was good to go!

Thank you for sharing that info. Unbelievable! It shows you care about your collectible friends. My father started exercising at 57 and did a 15 min. routine every day of his life until 4 days before he passed at 96. He started before he got out of bed by limbering up his arms, ankles etc. He played tennis until 95. Such an inspiration for me.

You had nothing to gain by sharing your experience and did it anyway. Thanks for that. I hope to contact you soon to expand on my recent purchase of a mag for my 1918 DWM. I’d like to collect from several Luger eras going forward and I have to say that your openness will absolutely determine with whom I spend my money.

Thoroughly enjoyed your videos on factory fresh Lugers, they are beautiful. I bought a "shooter " Luger in mid 60s that I enjoyed shooting. It was stolen from me in a burglary and I never got another Luger but have owned a couple of P-38s. My shooter cost me $65.00! Those were the days my friend...

Glad all went well for you! One thing to add, so many people between 30 and 40 don't go to the doctor as well. Even though you're still kind of young, things can go wrong during those ages. You can have very high blood pressure and diabetes at 35 years old. Good thing is, being so young, you have time to fix that before it snowballs into your older age. So if anything, go to the doctor and get checked out every single year. Do not miss a year. Those guns are amazing as well. Top notch.
