Steve, I am totally amazed at the apparent extent of your collection. You have let us peek in a few times but from what you have shown, I'm betting that your collection is awesome. Thank you.

Thanks Glenn. It is about 5 full pages, so asking someone to translate is not an option.

That is a neat detail Bob. Several years back, I bought an assortment of 13U memorabilia out of Germany. I assume that it came from a family who were not really interested in the military history of a long gone relative. Included was a type written history of a battle (in German of course)...

Yes I do Steve. Why do you ask?

Here's another.

Thanks, I'll probably show up there then.

Is Imperial German memorabilia acceptable to the AMCA? I live in Scottsboro and am just wondering since you state that it covers from the U.S. civil war through Vietnam.

Now, that is a resurrection. Beautiful workmanship.

Yes, those are pretty neat sabers Bob. I had not seen one until sometimes last year and before I knew what was happening, I had purchased two of them. Besides the curved blade, the grip has several different features from the Prussian version.

Bob told me how to do it and I did. It's the easiest that I have seen on any forum. Thanks again Bob.

I love it!

In the second photo, the troopers have their lances held in the upside down position. Does anyone know why? I have no idea.

I am a member of two Luger forums Bob. There are sporadic offerings there. I also have some good Luger contacts. I will keep an eye out. In the meantime, you might explore joining the Luger forums. The two forums mentioned can be found at lugerforum.com and the other at luger.gunboards.com.

Bob, are you interested in just cavalry unit marked lugers, any unit marked Lugers or specific units? As you most likely already know, to have a Luger shipped directly to you, you need to have a Federal Curio and Relic firearms license. Otherwise, the pistol would have to be shipped to a...

Thank you Bob. Cavalry marked lugers are not easy to find, but they occasionally pop up. If you find one, and really want it, don't hesitate. I have purchased two in the last month and I am trying to quit.

Okay, here's the try.

Yes I do. I will study the procedures and try to post some photos soon.

Great photo. I have a 1910 DWM Luger that is unit marked to the 3rd Squadron of the 7th Hussars, 3rd weapon (7.H.3.3.).

Yes Brian, I can say Texas Instruments but I will go you one better. I earned my engineering degree using a slide rule--a Post Versalog.
