Mauser Luger

I don't know enough about this variation to make an assessment concerning originality. To me it looks good and is one heck of a barn find! If it is indeed original it has a value in excess of $10,000.

Short answer is no.

Also note the position of Gesichert.

Just FYI, serial number 8319 s may be found on page 485 of The Mauser Parabellum. A twin of the gun in question here.

thanks. between the strawing, the lack of hump and the 7.62 cal I wasn't sure. But then I'm not a resident expert here.

I lurk a lot and try to learn but alas I forget more than I learn these days. this is indeed a rare bird.
