Went to my local Cabelas last Friday and looked at what was described as Commercial 9mm. I don't pass up looking at Lugers and I had to see this one up close. It had been redone, not as bad as some but still redone. Asking price was around 16-17 hundred bucks. As I handed it back I told the Gun library guy that he might want to check the caliber, if someone bought it and a box of ammo they might be pleasantly surprised and he would have a mad customer. He said why, I said it's a 30 cal. He says no, it is a 9mm. I suggested he compare the muzzle of the luger with the P38 it was sitting next to. He says oh, it IS a 30 cal. These guys don't pay a whole lot of attention to anything.

Here is another one:

I saw this about 10 days ago and thought about buying it but decided I should probably pay my taxes instead. Not a bad 1908. Moral of the story, if it doesn't have a chamber date it has to be a commercial.
