Commercial pre-war luger
 

Finally was able to pick this up. It was much nicer than even the pictures show, with just mild wear on the front grip strap. Commercial pre-war with no import or export markings. No stock lug or hold open. Un-numbered magazine, grips and unfluted firing pin. Searched the most recent version of Dwight's data base (6?) and it is not listed. Just a really nice pre-war luger.

Nice one for sure, thanks for photos. John

do you have any history on this piece ?...
 

previous owners have had it put away in a protected location....

looks great from where I am sitting......

No history on it. There is a local long time luger collector that I have bought/sold guns with for well over a decade. He's probably still got nearly 100 lugers and every once in a while he'll turn one loose. This is one of them.

It has clearly sat protected from the elements and (humans) for most of it's life.

Coincidentally, I just bought another pre-war luger that I find even more fascinating that should be arriving next week. Five digit SN, police use (mag/sear safety), '1920' property stamp and matching Weimar era magazine. It has two odd stamps on it that I was not able to identify in the photos.

My luger collecting is kinda a weird niche for me. I really like the unusual, or uncommon of the WW1/Weimar/early NS period. I have several police guns, and could easily stay in that rabbit hole perpetually.

Does it have a holdopen?

The one pictured above does not. The second one I discussed does not show evidence of one, but I have not had it in hand.
