Hi,
I just joined the site tonight. I have several Lugers but mainly collect Colt 1911 and 1911A1,s. Bought a Luger today unlike any I have seen. My luck though it is a common luger. Here the description.
It has a flat spring riveted on the side of the upper receiver that runs forward and presses on the top of the side plate. The serial number is 2065 all matching including the Hanel milled mag with a aluminum bottom also matching the sn on the pistol, No date on the pistol anywhere. It has crown over N proofs, no grip safety. The front strap has the markings S.D. VII . R. 72 .
This is a vet bringback with the paper stamped by James F. Reilly and signed by a Capt (cannot read signature) with the 2769th Engr Depot Co.
I thought WWI lugers or weimar era pistols had wooden bottoms??
Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Tim
