Hi all.
I have owned a number of Lugers, some of which I sold, sadly.
I came across the example shown here recently and I thought that, for the price, it would make a good shooter.
In any event, it seemed more interesting the more I looked at it. It is commercial and there are no import marks. The bore looks as good as a brand new firearm. All of the visible numbers match.
I'd like to know what I have. I(t does not look like the typical chromed bring-back. Could this be one of the transcendentally rare examples of Luger from the Waffen SS Syncopated Drill Team?
I'd like to get a handle on the date of manufacture and the caliber.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
