Luger reference book

[jimv]

Everytime I post something here on Calguns, I get great information....so lets try this one. I'm looking for a good reference book for Lugers. Something that offers up good history and proof mark information. If you are like me, I end up buying 5 or 6 books and only use one or two...I'm hoping I can spend good money on a couple books, vs a bunch of $ on 5 or 6 average books.

I would check out this forum

http://luger.gunboards.com/forum.php

The person who runs it has some of the best books covering the Luger pistol. If you just want general info beware a lot of older books are not accurate. I got the Luger bug and have a nice reference collection of different area books.
I may not use them all the time but they saved me from buying junk pistols for the price of prime.

Any other thoughts?

One of the best books is Lugers at Random by Charles Kenyon, Jr.

I bought it, and its very in depth and still regarded as the best source on Lugers, although its not perfect. The quality of the book is also very good, with tons of pictures and high quality paper.
