Chris,

Welcome to this forum and to the wonderful world of Lugers. Your Luger seems to be in good shape, although I suspect the magazine has been force-matched. In 1918 they came with wood bottom magazines. Even though the strawing is correct, I think the gun may have been refinished at some stage - but I'll leave it to the experts to decide.

Regards,

Balder

I did not know that Interarms imported pre-1945 Lugers. Maybe somebody knows when they did this.

I don't think there are all that many post-1945 Lugers around... Apart from a small series made by Mauser in the early 70's - I am the fortunate owner of one of them.

Doubt its a VOPO; it would be all junked up.

The magazine has a "1" stamp, so I would suppose that it has police history.
