Hello....
I am new to this forum... and hope I was able to post it correctly....
I always liked WWII military weapons, and once in a while find items at estate/yard sales, etc. I am not a gun expert, and more or less keep items that hit me the right way...
I am sure people have used the word "MINT" too often to describe a gun in excellent condition.... but the Luger I found is truely PRISTINE MINT.
The steel parts that aren't blued, are gold in color and the grips are flawless. The gun was not reblued and/or refinished.
The numbers match (54410) and the clip has a wooden bottom. The most unusual thing about the gun, is that the barrel is stamped: : "Manfacture Francaise d'Armes & Cycles de Saint-Etianne."
What is it.... and can someone give me a general idea on what it's worth? I would be happy to e-mail a bunch of photos directly to those who can help me out...
Thanks for your help.... Robert...
