New 1900 ~~keep or sell~~
 
6 Attachment(s)
I bought this from another dealer this afternoon at the Allentown gun show today.

Worn, but not abused too bad. The left side does have small pitting on the sideplate and left side thingy.

Serial number range is 13561, which is close to another I have (I think, hah, hah I thought it was 18xxx when i bought it). Has a very strong stamp american eagle ;)

It is all matching, except I was not able to check the firing pin (did not want to force it) and one grip was numbered differently.

I "think" I'll keep it? Would rather have a 1900 than another 1906 9mm (anyone wanna buy a decent but slightly pitted example for a good price?)

And the grip safety needs a new spring, but unsure what it looks like? I may have one but not sure! I guess I could find my shooter 1900 and look...

Ed,
Firing pins on non-military Lugers aren't numbered.

Thanks,

The grip safety spring is no big whoop. Tom Heller has them and they are easy to install. The Model 1900 is THE classic Luger, kind of like a Duesenberg, Rolls Royce or Bugatti...You are lucky to have one and one is never enough.

Definitely a keeper.

Played a few brand name pistols and felt the best of the best are still the DWM and Mauser. If they are sold, the price has to be good. If keep them, they are so attractive, no problem at all.

Ed, I have new grip safety springs available @$35 and most other M1900 parts that you might need. TH
