Taken???
An older friend of mine recently bought a Luger and later brought it to me for a look-see. It is an apparently all-matching (except mag) "42" from 1939, in VG condition. I'm about 99% sure it's been refinished and I have doubts about the grips. The mag has an aluminum base and an E/63, numbered 8213 n.
Can you guys confirm what I see, point out anything else, and give me an idea of what he should have paid? Thanks. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/luger007.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/luger008.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/luger009.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/luger010.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/luger011.jpg Sorry about a couple of those pics, I can redo if necessary. |
Jonnyc, be 100% sure it's been refinished because it definitely has! This puts this luger into the shooter category with a price range of $400-600 in this lousy economy. Hope your older friend didn't pay more as it's a shame to have an expensive learning experience at an older age! The grips, if original, could be Krieghoff, and might be worth more than the gun!

That's what I figured on the finish. Oh, it also came with a repro black leather holster and loading tool.
Let's hear more about those grips. |
better pictures would help
do close ups do close ups of the grips on and off of the gun, front and back |
Are any of the holes in the back of the grips threaded?
|
Yes, all 4 holes are threaded.
|
Johnny..The grips are looking better..I am certainly no expert on these but the front sides and the fit look good. The 4 holes being threaded are a good sign..all things considered I would find another pair for the re blued pistol and keep these.
|
Definitely refinished gun... now shooter class, not collector.
Hard to confirm anything on photographs, but I concur that IMHO these are Krieghoff luger grips and probably worth several hundred dollars. |
I would agree with John on the HK grips. I call them Type1 on the Black Grip study over on Jan's Forum.....
|
Thanks again for all the info.
|
Jonny, I have new repro checkered wood or black plastic repros available, starting @$25 + $6 S&H.
|
The grips are worth more than the pistol.

The grips are worth more than the pistol.
Johnny..That statement by Dwight and others might be a little misleading.. I would think the pistol might be in the $500-600 range but Krieg grips won't bring that much. At least several years ago I tried to sell a pair just like these for $300 and couldn't get it. Maybe things have changed but not that much? |
