Well hello again everyone. I am in the process of aquiring two Lugers from my uncle. :rockon:After having sent the one pictured in this thread back for a full refund. I will post some pictures when I get them. Maybe some of you could help me find out some info on them.

Hello Duane,
glad you have resolved the problem. I encountered a similar experience on my 1st Luger purchase. My Luger wouldn't function correctly either, so with a little help from LugerDoc, I replaced the mainsprig, and now it functions flawlessly! Maybe you could reacquire the original pistol for a little less money and have a .30 shooter. |
Sorry about the quality of some of the photos, but something seems to be wrong with my camera.

Nice looking gun....the mag has been altered with the checkering on the bottom and it may have been re-blued its hard to tell by the photos
The grip strap marking is very unusual, which makes it interesting: (Might need some help on this one Geo) I think it translates as follows Infanterie-Regiment 1, Maschinengewehr-Kompagnie, 15th Army Korps, waffe Nr. 19 |
Yeah, I know some of the pictures are kinda mot so good. The camera was giving me a fit. After looking it over again, and using the proof mark index here, it appears to actually be all correct except for the trigger bar/sear. That is the only part that does not match. Also the firing pin number is very hard to read, so it could be a "14" or maybe not. The tirggerbar/sear spring does not have any marking on it and I wthink they were supposed to. So I'm going to try and see if I can find the correct numbered parts to make it complete. I tried uding different unit marking resources to identify the markings on the front of the grip strap, but it didn't seem to match any that I saw.
|
Also, according to the proof marking resource on this site, the "RC" under the crown marking on the gun indicates that the gun was factory reconditioned or repaired, so I wonder if it might have been refininshed at that time.

The checkering on the magazine base although incorrect, sure does look very cool!
IMHO, the pistol appears to be overbuffed and too soft around the edges for an arsenal rework. |
Just got a response from Jan Still at his site.

I know the pictures suck, but does anyone have any idea as to value? I know an acurate appraisal would require hand inspection, but just a ball park. I traded him some stuff for this one and another one (I will post pics of the other one when I get this camera trouble straightened out).

Where on the site did you read this? See the FAQ above for this information. ed |
It is under "Technical Information" and then under "Markings."

The Luger is not in collectable condition, and is now classed as a "shooter." As such, it is worth about $550, give or take a few dollars.
