Luger Grips

Pete Ebbink · 07-13-2003, 12:40 AM

Hello Brian,

Welcome to the Luger Forum !!!

It sounds like your luger might be a way too good to use as a shooter. Not sure what you paid for the all matching rig, but you might want to save this one and hunt for a good reliable shooter in the $ 600-800 price range. "Shooters" are normally in the 60-80% finish range, might have a few parts that are not matching, may have been rebarreled, etc., but otherwise is in good working mechanical order...

A LF member named "LugerDoc" (aka Tom Heller) can normally put a great shooter in your hands for not a lot of money. Tom can be reached under "HellerArms" in the Links & Resources section of this Forum...

Back to your grips; if you take a look on e-Bay right now, there is a decent set of wooden grips (1920's era) on auction. Here is the link :

Finally, if you want to have your orginal grip's chip repaired so well that you really need to look closely to see the repair, drop me a line at "pebbink@pacbell.net" and I can give you the contact info. for this craftsman...

If you go this route, we would hope that you would advise any potential buyer of your gun about the repair that was done, in the event you decide to sell the rig in the future...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
