Everyone,

I can't tell you how excited I am. I just became a Luger owner. It's offically mine and what is so exciting to me is that the piece is in better condition than I thought. The pics don't really represent how good of shape it's in. I tried taking some pictures but I really need to get a macro attachment that can handle the close up pictures. The pictures posted look like it is lacking in bluing. It is not except for a couple of small places. I'm not a collector so I really don't know how to judge this, but it looks maybe 75- 80%. I really can't judge this like a pro. By the first photos, I was thinking it would maybe need a restoration. No way. It is in too good of shape. I sincerely will try to get some pics when I get a macro attachment that will handle the photos that I know you need.

The right grip will need to be retored. It has been smoothed out and is much "blacker" than the left. I still need to remove the grips and inspect them further. For now, it's tucked away and I'm still on my "Luger High from all of this.

Some of you said the holster was pretty good. It looks good to me. All the stiching is in place. The color is good and I will submit photos on that too as soon as I can. The strap is torn in half in the hole where it locks. It has the cleaning rod and the other tool (?) in the holster. Other than the strap it looks to be in great condition.

Here's the markings on the holster. On the strap is "Maury & Co. Offenbacham. On the front of the holster is "Hermflohr coln 1915.

Can you guys provide me more input on this information? I know photos will help and I'll do that ASAP. I know as soon as I get this one figured out, I'll want another one

Thanks again for all your help.

Steve
