RESEARCHER ASKED ABOVE:
"out of curiousity ,how long does barrel have to be for buttstock to be legal?"
I ANSWERED THIS QUESTION - AND ONLY THIS QUESTION:
The pistol has to be an original Navy or Artillery luger.
The stock has to be an original or exact duplicate.
Navy stocks cannot be attached to Artillery lugers; nor vice - versa.
Navy stocks are slightly shorter, and a little different shape than an Artillery stock.
A pistol with a minimum 16.1" barrel would be ok with a stock, as the barrel length would remove it from the "short" barrel category.
The numbered iron on your stock would tend to identify it as an original artillery stock, more/better focused pictures of each side , with a ruler in the picture would help. The stock itself has good value if original, more if marked with the crown/s as shown. It may be very faint on the back side.
I believe the holster in your picture is commercial, and not in great shape, so likely not too much value there.
The pistol does look to be in good shape, a 1920 commercial type, produced and marked for export likely to the US in the early 1920's.
The .30 cal and commercial lugers are not as appealing to most collectors and not valued as highly as a 9mm or military type.
I DON'T APPRECIATE YOUR MIS READING AND THEN SAYING i TOLD YOU THAT YOUR PISTOL WAS EITHER A NAVY OR ARTILLERY,
I DID NOT, RE-READ ABOVE.
iF YOU WOULD KEEP ALL YOUR QUESTIONS IN ONE POST IT WOULD HELP YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!
