Thanks for the welcome.

The trigger has been blued. I don't think the take down lever has been. As far as I can tell all the numbers match. Am I correct in assuming that on some parts they only put the last two numbers of the entire serial number? Well be that as it may I'm pretty happy. I think it's a good start. The bore looks good, safety works etc. I'll know more when I go to the range on Tuesday.

I just haven't seen that many Lugers for sale here in my corner of Idaho. Actually I can only think of one other time when I found a Luger for sale here in my area. And that was one of the Lugers made for the American Army trials approximately 100 years ago. Needless to say that one was way out of my price range.

I'm going to take better pictures. And the patch in my photo is actually the uniform patch of the police department that I work for. I'm going on nine years. Before that I was in the U.S. Army. Nothing really interesting. Spent alot of time mowing lawns and other assorted busy work. And no I never saw combat. I served and recieved an honorable discharge. Almost eight years on active duty (93-2000) and approximately six years in the Army Reserve and Idaho Army National guard (86-93).
