First, this is by far the most friendly and supportive web sight I have been to in years. You guys are great!
Dwight:
You are correct! Just took a better look and the rear sight has been added to the rear toggle. Who ever did this was an artist, the line break is barely noticeable and once assembled on the Luger you can barely see the break. I have included pictures showing the sight and rear toggle from the side.
OK, in an effort to help you out on your logging of early Lugers here is the info you requested (pictures attached):
- Correct, no logo on the chamber top
- Yes, it appears the logos you mention are on both the receiver and the breech (please check the photos and tell me if you see this. Hard to get the receiver one as it is shallow, what does this stand for?)
- Picture of grip safety and number location on take down on attached pics
- No stamps on the mag at all. Mag seems to not be the brushed kind.
Please let me know what else I can get you.
John:
Yes, the sight is by â??Microâ? as shown in my attached pic as well. I was looking at the slot for the missing rear sight plate and thought it looked familiar. So I took the rear plate off my Ruger Super Blackhawk and it went in like it was made for it! Amazing and very cool. So I have already ordered the plate from Brownells. Thanks for the leads.
Luger Doc:
Sent you an email today for the parts I need. Look forward to doing business with you.
Conclusion:
OK, this is great, I really have a good idea of what I got thanks to you guys. So my final questions are:
- What company does â??SS&Dâ? stand for on this 8â? barrel? (as in â??Barrel by SS&Dâ?)
- So I take it this did start out as a 1900 commercial model that was converted to 9mm. When do you think this was done?
- What would be your take on the value of this Luger? (totally understand and will not take personally the fact it had been â??modifiedâ? and might be de-valued). I would say 85-90% finish, all matching numbers (except barrel).
Bottom line is I am very excited to own this Luger and it is very fun to shoot. <img border="0" alt="[king]" title="" src="graemlins/r.gif" /> Having an 8â? barrel with a rear adjustable sight makes this a VERY accurate pistol. I will have to go to the range and scan in some pics of what it can do for grouping. Would anyone be interested in seeing this?
Thanks again guys and really appreciate the help. I have another question that I have made a new post below.
