Vet Bring back
A couple of years ago, at a militaria fair here in the UK, i met up with an elderly gentleman selling a Luger. A 1918 DWM, mint condition all matching,including the wooden bottomed,matching serial numbered magazine..!
Anyway, as i'm looking at it, he tells me that he has had it in a cupboard since 1996.He aquired it through his son, who ran a firing range, and at this firing range there was an old British veteran who used to fire this Luger every now and again.Which, he had brought back from the war. The veteran passed away in 1996, and the laws over here changed banning the ownership of pistols. The veterans family wanted the Luger destroyed, but thankfully, the range owner recognised it for what it was and had it deactivated.
It came with a 42 dated brown hardshell holster, too.
Yep, i bought it.
I'll post a photo when i've worked out how to!!!
