Another likely BS story. Why would a diplomat give a engraved police luger to another diplomat( whom he did not like according to all I've read)?

The sear safeties were not installed by Mauser, so that part of the story is pretty much wrong, though the holes were drilled at Mauser-the spring was added by the police themselves- again according to reference books.

I believe this luger has been discussed before and there is also some strange wording in the inscription, IIRC.

But for sure it is an engraved, gold plated luger!

Any one here knows the engraver that can replicate this type of work, let me know,

we can try make one of 2018 guns in to fully engraved masterpiece.

I have had to stand back and ponder the effort with these 45 Lugers from a lot of points of view. I really never thought I would see these made again, but glad that I was flat wrong. A wondrous thing to be sure.

800 hp automobiles within my grasp as well; just splendid days. Probably will not cure grey hair or maladies, but does the spirit good.

I thought the same way about the automag as well, but again wrong I see..................(and somewhat glad of it in both firearm cases)

I have finally managed to dial in things on the lathe to a tenth, with that managed, I am thinking the art form in some of these pistols is the more daunting task.

I know variety sells, but also some pitfalls in over extending.

I have grown to distrust information in books(some use book info as a weapon) and other reading materials, but one thing about them, the pictures can be right useful. The old thousand words routine I reckon.

I believe that George Anderson may be able to shed some light on the authenticity of this Luger...

George? is this one of the guns from our late friend Tom Armstrong's collection?
