Dear Pete,

thanks. I will ask there.
Now I mus look for ammo. Here in Europe is the only knowed manufacturer fiocchi. I hope this ammo goes.

Maybe I well upload a photo of my red grip Luger.
She looks very well , over 90 % blue and only two small scratches - in the collection she layes with much other guns in a box like a defect spare part.

Best - HM

Hi Henry,

In the USA, we are lucky to buy 7,65 mm ammo (Lapua ammo made in Finland in the 1980's) from this vendor...but I do not think they ship overseas...price is very good for hard-to-find ammo :

Maybe you can find a similar supplier in Europe...??? If you do, please post info. on the Luger Forum...as we have many members in Europe and elsewhere...

Picture and ammo
 

Hi Pete and all Lugers,

in Germany You can get italian ammo from Fiocchi, SP and FMJ 93grs - 500 costs 165 Euro . All brass is boxer primed.
Other labels like Geco Norma SAKO and Lapua do not produce since over 10 years.
I got 50 shot Geco - it really works good.

Here is a picture, the left side has two scratches and 10 % no blue, maybe ist falling down and the holster scratched ist. Right side ist 100 % like new.
Best

Hello Henry,
To find a magazine with red bottom is not so easy and expensive, I payed CHF.200.- for my last.The right ammo is easy to get if you live near the Swiss border ....

Dear Swissdagger,

I have now gtet Fiocchi FMJ 93 grs. Tomorrow I will shoot with it. It was very expensive - 500 round for 164 Euros.
We will see.

200 Swiss frances for an red grip magazine - I am not sure if I buy it. the gun was very cheap because I have found an buyer for other guns of these collctions and the dealer was very happy for my business.

Henry,

Last red M1929 magazine I bought here in the USA cost me $ 160 USD. I was happy to pay that as you do not see them for sale without a gun too often.
