1900 Swiss with a few bits & pieces
 

I took a snap shot of my 1900 serial number 781 with a few bits an pieces,

http://forum.lugerforum.com/lfupload/121_2122_1.jpg

Original holster and straps, ammo dated 15:8:1905, brass cleaning kit, grease can, spare mag and original 1900-06 Swiss manual.
Does the photo layout seem familiar somehow?

Hi Murray,

I do not know how I missed your posting...what a lovely luger and holster !!! The other Swiss luger nuts must be sleeping as well...

Congratulations...and thanks for sharing...

A few questions, if you do not mind :

1. Is your luger +/Vogelsang stamped ?

2. Is your luger's magazine feedway relieved or un-cut ?

3. What is the date of your holster ?..it is the nicest one I have seen...I am green with envy...

I wasn't sleeping, just speechless. Such an impressive array kind of takes your breath away.

Judging from the follower button on the spare mag, I woud guess that the frame is relieved.

Thanks Pete,
Yes, it is one of my favourites, Did you note the number 781.
I can't answer all of your questions as I am away from home other to say the gun is +/Vogelsang stamped and Ron is correct about the mag.
The other questions will have to wait until I get home.
Glad you liked it and Ron, thanks for your help with the Borchardt Barring block, I am really pleased that some one from the forum ended up with it.
Regards
Murray.

Hey Murray,

I think I have you beat with my number # 555...but Herr Wood trumps us both with his much earlier M1900...

Niced to see lugers over 104 years old surviving in such great shape.

Well done Dwight,
You get first prize!
How observant

Hey Murray,

I will check out my Kenyon L-TMP this weekend.

By the way...did you buy your gorgeous holster with the luger ? Or do you have a secret source for the most excellent Swiss leather...?

Murray,
unbelivable! just the holster is very interesting, with the very early snap hooks - never seen before - just heard about!

what is the holster saying on the back?

Thanks for your kind comments guys,
I am away from home at the moment and will let you know what is on the holster next week. I got the holster with the gun.
The other items I have collected mostly locally as with the gun which I found here in New Zealand.
