The Iron Cross Luger strikes again!
 

Now for your consideration...

The work is described as ""One Of 500" Hand engraved by hammer and chisel." I have visions of someone attacking these with a 32 oz. ballpeen and a coal chisel - it wouldn't have harmed them any more.....

hey Bob, I like everything but the iron cross and the "gold" touches. Engraving like that is okay, just a bit, not covering everything ;). I just hope they used a ratty example and not the first thing they bought at auction...

I almost looks like they started with one of those Stainless Lugers from Stoeger (?). While I too am not partial to engraved guns of any sort this one could be a lot worse. If it was done on a new gun and not a collectable example, I'd buy one for about $800-850.

But it would look a little out of place in my collection. :)

These "beauties" can still be purchased...many varieties of lugers and other guns offered :

The grips on the lugers always seem to be very ill-fitting.

Now if they struck a deal with Hugh Clark, they would get excellent grips and Hugh could hire more members of his Babe-staff...;)

$3,500 is absolutely out of the question.

Don't overlook that "diamond edition" artillery for just under $ 14K...they even offer an "easy payment" plan...

There must be some market...as they have been up and running on the web site for some time...

my guess is that they sell 1 or 2 every now and then. It is only a hundred bucks to have a website in your name for 3 or 4 years.


Ed

okay, I was a bit harsh - the engraving (minus the cross, etc) does look to be okay. I think the arty edition is a bit over the top - at least there are no nude models on the grips...


Bob

;) hey, I thought you were pointing out my next purchase!





:D

:confused: What's wrong with nude models?????:eek:
