I was about to post this link too... I hope those considering purchasing these offerings check in here first...

The mix-master at the end priced at $6,000 is, for me, a new definition of "chutzpah". Actually, re-reading the text, it may be fraudulent since it claims "Mauser" is the maker of the firearm, and they clearly were not. Mauser only made the front toggle. They were obviously not making Lugers in 1918, or 1920 (which is, of course a property mark, not a year of rework).

A rare Luger, one of the last ones available anywhere in the world. These people are smokin some serious weed!

it may be fraudulent since it claims "Mauser" is the maker of the firearm, Their whole pitch could be presented to a Grand Jury as fraud. Virtually everything they say is spurious.

This is a WWI Luger produced by DWM, the noted German arms maker located in Berlin. Well parts of it are..The grips were made by a little Pakistani fellow we contracted with for purty grips. The condition is excellent overall, cause we scrubbed really hard and got all that pesky original rust blue off em. Then we hot salt blued it to a nice shiney black..OH! I almost forgot to mention the buffing job! Buffed er out right pretty! It was manufactured in 1915, perhaps at the height of World War I. Perhaps, perhaps not..you see.. were not really historians so we don't know anything about WW1. Rifling in the barrel has sharp lands and grooves with bright lands and deep grooves. There is some age-related light frosting in the grooves with no effect on performance in this fine specimen. HONEST! It's AGE related..it has absolutely nothing to do with the bad mercury laden corrosive ammunition those nasty Germans used! This specimen will soon be 100 years old! It is as good today as it was when it was made in 1915. Well..other than that AGE related frosting we were explaining away previously. It was made by DWM, at the time DWM was one of the finest gun makers in the world. This is one of the few remaining "WWI" Lugers available today. Swear to GOD! If you Google search LUGER.. don't pay any attention to the many dealers who show up! These are all fabrications by Google to fool you! There are NO more of these in the WHOLE World! This is the VERY last one!
And these very nice boxes are an added bonus! They are just as the German Soldier got them when he graduated from basic training..he was presented with this box, a Luger and his very own iron cross! So boys and girls..don't hesitate to cough up some serious cash for the LAST LUGER in the whole wide World!

This company always has huge adds in NRA magazines, which unfortunately leads many people to believe then to be credible.

Produced in 1936 by the Mauser factory,Sort of... untill we got hold of it! this beautiful Luger was made during the secret period of rearmament of German military forces.Then it was taken to our secret refurbishing plant in East New Jersey! Germany ignored the Treaty of Versailles and three years after this Luger was produced, World War II started. And 5 years after that there were millions of Lugers brought home to the USA! Beautiful bluing or spray paint..we ain't sure cause our Gucci shoes get dirty when we go down and see the elves in the secret refurbishing plant. , excellent bore...none of that AGE related frosting!, with German “nitro” commercial proof mark only begins to describe this Luger! We have no way of knowing how those little “nitro” commercial proof marks got on this military pistol since it's all matching! But there they are! And with its unique serial number. It's as unique as the other 1500 lugers with the same number! Those are unique too right? Fred..look up unique for me will you? Matching numbers on all parts. especially the “nitro” commercial proof marked ones..they match right up to the military one..don't they? The S/42 designator on the toggle link is the Nazi code in 1936 for the Mauser factory and that boys and girls is the end of this story..NO! wait! There's more! We are too stupid to realize the Mauser factory quit using wood bottomed magazines in 1936 Lugers so we closed our eyes, reached deep into the magazine pile and came up with this one! It matches the grips! The ones the little Pakistani fellow makes..So there you are..The second to LAST Luger in the whole World.

Genyouwine factory replacement grips add an additional $1500 cost to our incredibly rare Lugers which are lovingly assembled by blind drunk elves working aboard our secret Nazi submarine anchored just off the New Jersey coast. Be the first on your block to own one ... or two. Buy two and we will include our exclusive Luger holster made of WW2 Corfam.

Charlie :)

(anybody remember Corfam stormtrooper boots?)

lugerholsterrepair 08-06-2011 07:20 PM

GAAAAHHHH!!! Charlie! Why did did you disclose the secret!! assembled by blind drunk elves working aboard our secret Nazi submarine anchored just off the New Jersey coast I suppose it's just as well..They already have the LAST Luger in the World!

Ice 08-06-2011 07:29 PM

Not so bad, Jerry. Now you will receive a TON of requests for repairs to Corfam Luger holsters.

Charlie :)

lugerholsterrepair 08-06-2011 07:32 PM

Charlie..I have the last tube of Corfam glue in the Whole World..If they want them repaired they will have to come to me!

Ice 08-06-2011 07:49 PM

Darn! You had to blab it! Now 57 blind drunk elves will be parachuting over Howard CO to have their exclusive Mitchell elf shoes (at 10K per pair) repaired. Hope you have enough grain alcohol around to keep them satisfied while they wait.

Charlie

New Mitchell product: genuine Corfam shoes worn by SS elves guarding the Black Forest.

We only had one small lathe on my Diesel Boat, not even enough time to make a peeler for the sardines can. However, for usn's here, I can offer a once opened sardine tin. Only one $ dollar.. three ninty eight. Used to know a Tom Mitchell, cept he(she.it) was a twidget (ET). Was known by the handle of "torchy" after blowing up the radar crt in the conn. Good Lord, thank you for getting me here. Hope next life is even better. That is a lot to hope and pray for.

Great item Gerben! That ought to be an award given out at gun shows for the most misrepresented Luger. Problem is, you would need a truckload of the awards for some of the big shows.

Something like that...a product from a cow, or more appropriately a bull.

Aaah, but its gold plated and presented on a plush red pillow; the price is $7500.00. From Hermann Goering's personal bull.
