Help identify markings on PO8
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all
I have a Russian capture luger that is rough shape - but she is a great shooter . There are initials on the right side of the gun that are as follows E.C.C.S.A Under that is what appears to be a faint import mark . Could this have been a police or possibly a prison guard pistol ? Thanks in advance !

As stated several times here, ECCSA was the Cross Roads Gun Shop in Pennsauken, New Jersey. They went out of business, some mystery/legal issues attached to their demise.

Thank you for your response ! This gun is a pile of mixed parts , Russian capture , import marked , old beater - but she sure shoots great and functions flawless .

Post some more pics. Shots of any & all markings, full sides, top, bottom of barrel, top of chamber. VoPo/RC Lugers are usually force-matched; built from many sources. Not necessarily a mutt but rather 'resurrected'. ;)

I'm in NJ and used to occasionally shop there in the late 80's. The word going around at the time was that the owner was an "alleged" coke head/dealer and got busted.

Too bad as he had some neat stuff with great prices!!
