thanks Johnny

Be careful of that ammo...Not that 7.65 is any barn-burner, but could be corrosive...Should be cleaned immediately...

Are you selling it? I already have one; IIRC, I paid ~$700 for it...Without ammo...

I agree with Alvin; Lugers are unique and if you want to turn heads at the range, shooting a Luger (and having ejected shells bounce off your forehead) will do it...

I heard of this issue, saying Luger throws empty cartridge case towards user, but I cannot remember it had ever happened on my Interarms Luger which I fired around 1000 rounds, indoor. Have not fired my pre-45 Lugers yet (too nice to use), no shooting experience on those.

Mauser Broom did throw a hot empty case into my shirt once, indoor. The shelter is low, the empty case flew out, hit the roof, bounced back and fall into my shirt, and burned my back skin.

Thanks to everyone posting! There are markings like Crown over N, 1917 dates, 17 on all the parts, Geirshart on the safety. I also have some .30 caliber ammo for this. I am now offering it at trades as well, a nice 1911 45 and $500. cash. Any offers, Johnny
