My first luger was in 1984 - sold a 4 inch python and then bought this,a 1914 Erfurt Artillery. It is buffed hard and reblued. MY 2nd luger was totally mismatched, upper matched and bottom matched (1940/42) but not to each other!
Retired from the army and found this board. Met several collectors to include Bill Munis, who convinced me to center on a certain type, and I chose Weimar era, especially police, since that was what I did in the army.
Still have my first artillery.
