"Original" Nickled Luger

azlaw · 08-16-2007, 03:22 AM

Looks like I'm batting about 300. My interest in this gun is only academic - I'm strictly a bottom feeder when it comes to actually buying anything. So, when were the first 9mm Lugers made? What Lugers will be original 9mm vs 7.65mm?

Also, American gunmakers generally offered (and still offer) "factory" customized guns made to special order. These can bring high values if authenticated. Do I understand that this was *never* done with Lugers? How were "genuine" presentation guns created in Germany?
