Gawd! What a tacky P.O.S. and what a crime to do to a rare gun.

And only $1700. DOLLARS! Gee willikers for that kind of money I could get a real one....Jerry Burney

Ye Gods! What a nightmare! I guess they had to plate it if it was buffed like that when they got it. Looks almost like a 'melt' job on the upper.

Guilty as charged Gentlemen!!....my only defense is that it was not I who did the dirty deed...but, just owning it could be presumed to be "guilt by association"....how about....it was part of a collection I picked up!!!....and I really do not drive a Big Cadillac with whitewall tyres and a fake fur lined interior(not anymore anyway).....

Peter...

Thanks for letting us poke a little fun at this Erfurt LP-08 and being such a good sport...

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!

They must be importing it from New Jersey. It kinda reminds me of a tacky "Joisey" girl I dated in my youth.

George,
Admit it; those tacky Joisey gals had a "certain something" didn't they...tennis balls and garden hoses pop into mind.

Tom, yeah I used to hang around outside the local Catholic girls high school. inda like shooting quail at a game farm.

GAWD!!! They put this down as "SUPER CONDITION"!! Everything matches except the side plate and mag. No mention the the chipped left hand grip and that so much metal was removed from the right side of the receiver that another gun could have been made from the shavings.

Hey guys....I took that "son of a gun Luger" to the range today,along with a 1917 Artillery ,a ac 41 p38 and an early Browning Hi Power with Tangent rear sights.....that "Artistic" Erfurt shot really well and cycled properly and was probaly more accurate than myself.. (I drank two cups of Java just before shooting....not good!!)...the other Artillery also worked well as did the p38 and the Browning...I then had the bright idea of trying out a box of German made Ammo marked Geco?? ... written on the box was 'Fur Pistolen und Maschinenpistolen....This stuff was incredibly powerful!!!....I put one clip through the p38...and one through the Browning...That was enough!!! I am lucky the guns are still intact!!....I don't believe this stuff is too good to shoot in Pistols...????!!!!Very Hot ammo!!??

Some of the WW2 German 9mm ammo used uncoated steel projectiles (armour piercing) that will wear out your barrel in nothing flat. Not to mention its effect on the trap at most indoor ranges. Tom

Thanks for th input Tom....I do not intend to use this stuff again....Peter

Hey peter,
If you have any more of that Geco ammo available in unopened boxes, I would be interested in buying some.

Tom A.

Hi Tom.....I only have an opened box....also I suspect the stuff is post war as the label and packaging do not appear to be 60 years old...Peter...

Same gun...new owner...new price...

Peter's original price offering at $ 950.00 seemed like a real bargin...if one likes this sort of luger...

I rarely bother to even read their ads any more.

The last time I saw a gun like this was when it belonged to a pimp in N.Y., although such have been seen at the circus shows.

lets see, we may have insulted a few folks along the way here.
