This 'Catalog' covers all Lugers 1945 and prior (and even some post WWII commercial Lugers). It includes history of Lugers, their mechanics, markings, manufacturer, features and accessories. It also includes collecting advice. If you are looking for a luger, this is a very good book to have. Let me explain how it works. Once you have read up on the history and mechanics of the Lugers and you think you have a specific Luger in mind, there are INDEX LOOKUP CHART(S) whereby you can find the details of any Luger by either looking how the chamber is marked OR how the toggle is marked. This Index Lookup Chart has a very comprehensive lookup 'path' that you can then follow that will eventually lead you to a detailed page that will give you details of the Luger you are looking up. There are about 204 pages of this detail information with one each of these pages dedicated to a specific Luger. For example; I was interested in a 1940 Luger I spotted at a local Gun Show. The toggle was labeled '42'. Following the 'path' thru the chart using the manufacture date of 1940 on the barrel and 42 on the toggle, I was directed by the Index Lookup Chart to a full page of detailed info that is specific to that particular Luger. On the detail page it told me that the Luger was a Mauser code 42 (with a four digit date and not a two digit date), that it was a military issue pistol, the approx number of these Lugers manufactured (133,700), a four inch barrel, the type of sights, extractor, magazine, serial number range, serial number location and the type of markings that are specific to this Luger (Manufactures code, Military Test Fire Proof symbol and Acceptance Mark symbol). It also gives the Values of the pistol based on condition: Poor, Fair, Good, VG and Exc.
