I know nothing about Lugers

[Quacker]

Thanks everybody for the input! Sounds like it’s a great looking shooter and no safe queen collectible. It’ll be shot today for sure. I’ll post a video!!

Now... need to find out about this trapdoor I bought too. I’ll post separately soon

That was the total haul from the auction. I upgraded my 1903, Krag and M1 carbine, that’s why I’m selling my older ones. The trapdoor in a Luger were just a bonus

What he said . It’s a fine example but it’s not what you typically see .

Please keep in mind. Unless they have paperwork proving it .... do not buy a story . I don’t care if they tell you Hitler used it . Unless they have proof that story is worth zero. Just focus on the pistol. That being said his assessment matches mine.

If you are going to shoot it please take the grips off . A puppy dies every time Luger grips crack.

I have a few Luger pistols . One is documented war time , one is a beater shooter and I also have a mini. Good pistols

I’m sorry you are sad . That is what it is . Have more nazi pistols than anything else . I don’t buy stories . Some people will. If you have papers then yeah but if not I’m just buying the gun.

Even then you gotta be careful. I’ve ran across 3 fake pistols. Stamps were put on post war

Well you are right. If you don't have the documentation and certification then you really don't know what you have. There are to many A holes out there shucking and jiving.

The other thing that bugs me is the term nazi, 99% of guns were used by the german armed forces, very few by members of the nazi party.

In 1940 less than 10% of the german population belonged to the nazi political party, far fewer employed by them, even less armed by them.

That's what makes the actual Nazi or SS guns so desirable. Less numbers more value. Hard to prove though.
