Navy P-04... very very rare.

I don,t know, i,m a new Luger owner, but I like this particular gun even if it,s a mongrel of parts and epochs.

Coming from a background of building custom motorcycles, bobbers, choppers- frequently a mixture of parts, it,s very difficult to be a purist collector. You simply look at aesthetics of proportions, silhouette and function.

Perhaps somebody tried to build a ‘hotrod’ of a Luger, but it,s a shame if they try to pass it for a specific authentic gun.

Herr Werle is playing around with firearms based on Luger mechanics, some of his Frankenstein creations might be considered ugly.. but damn if he is not having a good time....

If I had more Luger parts, perhaps I would create some chopped up cool functional ‘monstrosity ‘

IMHO

if you will go to the bottom of our thread/topical listings, you will find a category of "want to buy"...members are constantly looking for a part or assembly with no regard of a matching number....then there are those who are always looking for a particular number on a part for their effort to build an original luger "all matching numbers"....when they are marketed as an "original, all matching Numbers" built by the parts buyer, they have totally misrepresented the weapon being sold.....an older weapon is highly unlikely to be an original all-matching weapon after being 75-100 years old...

enjoy the presentation in your possession...it is likely the closest you will ever own of the luger you would really like to own.....Tom
