Hello all-

I finally got some pictures posted of the lugers, you can see them at:

http://www.cisatlantic.com/trimix/Luger/index.html

What I am curious about is how do you decide what condition they are in. I see "98%" and so forth, but I don't see how you can gauge how much blueing is left along with other factors, such as natural wear and tear.

Any opinions on the condition are welcomed.

One of the '06 models has a slightly loose front site. The black-grip one has a sticky slide, it's almost as if someone was trying to tighten the action.

The 1900 has a mysterious dent in the takedown plate which does not look like an accident. Not sure what function it would have except perhaps reducing the trigger set-off.

Also I have thought about this and I really don't understand what advantage you may have keeping your serial number confidential. What's the reasoning?

Well, enjoy, folks!

Jim
