1917 Artillery Luger

AKstranger · 08-28-2011, 01:10 AM

I got it for 1400 i wasnt positive it was a good price, the guy inherited over 1000 guns and had over 53 lugers by the time i got there when 3/4s of his collection was already sold. He was selling them for good prices as far as i know because of the amount of guns he had and how they had become somewhat of a burden to him. I bought it with admittedly little knowledge. The pieces with the most glare (which i believe are supposed to be a brown color) are almost silver with wear but the blue is in good shape in comparison to all the others i saw there except 2 beautiful 1902 carbines. if you could help guide me to what i might put on the metal to preserve it i would greatly appreciate it
