[kenkart]

I have noticed pictures of model 30 Luxes that were listed as PRE WAR when in fact they are NOT,so here is the lesson for the day!!!,All of you members under about 25 or 30 here is some info you might find interesting...The pre war model I have is from about 1939 or 40, it is slightly different than the very first one.

My web site discusses the various iterations of the XXX -- there were six distinctively different versions of that model, with numerous "in-between" models yielding a seemingly infinite number of variations. See link.
