K DATE! WOW-aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
 

I havent had an adrenaline rush like this one in a llllllllLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG time! It had lasted two days already!!!!! Even though an import.....even though a dipper (Hey, I coined a new "Luger word") I have been looking for a 1st Variation K Date for ol Thor to fix up for his own Collection (SIMPSONS is listing one with 75% bluing for $3,750) because I couldn't afford the HI$ of an original, of course all will know it is a restoration, but hell, I just WANT ONE (my soul is screaming extrememely LOUD) Sorry, ol Thor is very strongly emotional, and I am subdued so much, I HAD to let go on this one!!! "YIIIIIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE" AHhhhhh......that feels..........feels........better.....I think, hell, my winged helmet is now about to fall off!!! Funny about those lightening bolts!!! YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

AH..........bbbbbbbettter!!! Thor~~~~~

Hi Thor do you need B90 take down tool Charlie Adams

Re: K DATE! WOW-aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
 

Thanks Charlie, but I will be looking for an O37 to match the acceptance stamps on the gun. I dont want to go too fast anyway, the hunt is half the fun! Thanks for thinking of me. Thor

Re: Settle Down, Boy!!!!!!!
 

Now that would take all the fun out of it!!!

Re: K DATE!
 

Now, lets see, we need to replace the mag with a correct one, we need a loading tool, and oh yes a 1934 dated holster, why not another correct mag to fill in that gaping hole in the holster......... I can see $$$$$$$$$$$ in the future!!!!!!!!

Re: K DATE!
 

That is another good reason to take my time, huh?

Re: K DATE!
 

The anticipation, the waiting, the culmination of a long desired dream coming true is an experience we all should go through at least once in our lifetime. I am at this very moment going through the very same emotional delight as I await the arrrival of my long desired dream. I have an old adage that has never failed me....nothing good comes easy. More on my dream in time, after it is in my gloved hands.

Re: Congratulations on a Crown Jewel. Post pictures when you get it!! (EOM)

Re: K DATE!
 

It will not be for long after you work your magic on it.

Re: K DATE! WOW-aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
 

Forgive me, someone please enlighten me, what is the excitement, value, rarity, whatever in a 'G' date or a 'K' date versus an 'A' date or a 'R' dated Luger? Seriously, this is a mystery to me.

Re: K DATE! WOW-aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
 

Herb, Mauser made the first Lugers in 1934 for the military and Hitler was trying to hide the rearming of the German military so he didnt have these made with a chamber date like 1934 but used a "K" code and then in 1935 the next code was a "G" then after that in 1936 he simply didnt care and Mauser went to numbering their Lugers on the chamber with a date stamp. The K dates were pretty rare as not many were made and there are at list 4 subvariations making this a study in collection Lugers within itself. Ks are in short supply so worth is accenuated. Pretty simple economics but it brings out the fakers pretty severely. I am tickled pick to get this one before others in this country get their paws on it and hopefully the numbers, stamps etc will be original and the parts too. Thor

Re: K DATE!
 

Mark, did you get the K date??? I sure would like a report on it? Thor
