Very nice! Some day I will find one like that.

I have a GP 35 , serial 51719 , WaA 613 marked, tangent rear sight and slotted . Can you tell me the year it has been made?

Images Not Available; a common problem.

You mentioned it was unloaded; and cited the lack of magazine. It could still have a round in the chamber...

There was a news article some years back about a group of young boys who found an old rusted .22 auto pistol in a field or yard...They took it to one's fathers workshop, clamped it in a vise, and tried to clean it up...They got the slide back and were trying to clear a round out of the barrel when it discharged...

I can't post to that Forum, but that is not an "Artillery Luger". The tangent rear sight would be mounted on the barrel, on a stepped section next to the chamber, in a ramped dovetailed box. The grip frame would also be notched on top where the barrel screws in. As mentioned, it would not have the toggle sight. It also wouldn't have the curious protrusion on the end of the barrel.

There's better pics, but here's one I leeched off GB...

Thank you for the warning! I've allready stiked a wire in the barrel first time I cleaned, it'is no shorter then barrel and chamber! And also the Geladen marked extractor is down!

Yes, it never hurts to check!

I was going to suggest bead blasting, or maybe crushed walnut shell blasting; but I have seen items that looked like there was metal under the rust just blow right through...Rust was the only thing keeping the shape...
