new owner needs basic help//

lasnyders · 12-01-2009, 07:32 AM

In the post 2 below this one "new owner needs basic help" I have received a lot of input that was very informative. I have a couple last questions.
- Is this gun a shooter or is it more a collector?
- What year is it?
-Any speculation on value with the holster, 2 clips and gun?

THANKS,
Larry

I'm not seeing a link, however one man's shooter is another man's collector. The bar is a bit higher here on this board but generally original finish with mostly matching #'s is a "looker" and seems a shame to risk breaking. The secret is to own several. Some to look at and at least one to shoot.

I merged the posts, if you are going to refer to a previous posting, it is best to post a link or simply add to that same posting.

If I were buying I'd try to get it for $1000; selling maybe $1400. Probably not what you wanted to hear. Maybe others value it higher. We'll see.

Hi Larry, Your gun was made in early 1929 using an illegal 9mm barrel made during WWI. The magazines were made in1941/42. This Luger has had an interesting history, (I can hear you saying "yeah, but you can't eat history!), and if I owned it I would not shoot it. Regards, Norm

Norm - Please explain why this particular 9mm barrel was made illegally...Us new guys don't know why, and we're too embarrassed to ask...
