Again guys, I appreciate the answers very much! The person told me it was the "secret police" stamp, but even being away from Lugers for several years, I felt this was wrong. Since I don't have Costanzo's book, I could not verify what he was talking about. The price for the pistol is $900 and is is supposed to be in 95% condition. If he still has it, I will probably buy it since I don't have any Dusseldorf Police pistols.
The story never changes about Lugers, anyone will try to boost the price to make a sale. IT sure is good to be back with you guys, and to LUGERS!!!!
Update: OK, I am now "back in the fold". I have the Luger on hold until I get my license faxed to him this evening. The other good part is the magazine matches, AND there is a matching holster. Unfortunantly, the spare mag is not with it, or a loading tool, but this is OK. I think I made a decent deal for my first buy on a Luger in about 2+ years.
I still like the WWII Mausers, but I do have a number of these and my next favorites are the Weimar Police Lugers. WOW, what a history these have! Served in WWI, Weimar Era, and into the the Third Reich Era! If only they could talk, LOL.
Gotta save up and find me a nice Kreighoff one of these days. I do have one Keighoff, that John D. and I discussed several years ago. It is one of the "parts" Kreighoffs that was assembled from whatever parts were in the factory when the US got to the plant. It is the ugliest Luger you have ever seen, and that's the truth. I need to dig this one out and post some photos of the "beauty". Maybe this weekend I can make some photos of my Lugers for you guys since I have a digital camera now.
