Hi Dr. Rob,
Take a look for a healthy (and sometimes heated...) discussion about Mum Lugers back on 3-6-2003 in the P-08 Military Luger section of the Forum. The discussion was titled as "Japanese Luger Story in AutoMag".
Lots of interesting info. presented in that discussion...
I believe these Mum Lugers are still pretty controversial...just wanted to post a heads-up note...for the new GunBroker offering...
Note sure how the seller could offer this Luger as original finish...since the Mum and Kanji characters were more than likely added after the piece left the Mauser factory in Germany...
p.s. Easiest way to find this old discussion thread is to use our "Search" feature...for the word "Japanese" in the Military P-08 section.
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
