When placed in competition at national and international exhibitions, they often won gold. Luft is the recipient of at least thirty gold medals, reserve awards, grand awards, and, among others, the Prix d’Honneur (London 1990).

Luft wrote three volumes on French philately entitled The Regular Issues of France According to Their Normal Postal Usage, as well as Military and Postal History of the Revolutionary Armies in the West of France 1791–1802, which was published in 1993. In 1984 he co-authored A Chronology of French Military Campaigns and Expeditions with Their Postal Markings 1815–1983 with philatelist William Waugh.
