Hey Guys - I thought I'd share another project - this was my first firearm display for my prized (if only to me - they aren't particularly rare of valuable) Luger P08 and Walther P38. It started out as table top display and then the wife said I needed to put legs under it, and I'm glad she did.
I really love these guns - the engineering is just beautiful for both. I think the 1911 is a better design overall, but there's something that just screams WW2 when you hold these pistols (and I realize the Luger design has been around since 1908).
The display has pull out drawers which hold an original holster for each. I also chose to modify the Reichsadler, because as someone who collects WW2 stuff, you always have to be careful not to give off the idea that you are a nut with too many Swastikas in the man cave![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks for looking - would love to see your WW2 collections too.
Scott
