Hi John, Beautiful gun and, as you say, one with a great history. Like all early guns that went to Bavarian units, it hasn't been retrofitted with a hold-open or 50m. sight blade. That early magazine is a real prize, too. Regards, Norm

This is just an outstanding item. I am envious.

Outstanding unit marked Luger. I love them, especially M.G. stamped like yours. Matching original mag, that is just impressive. Joe |
Very nice gun! I have a 1911 DWM that served with the same regiment, also with the original magazine.
