Re: Interesting Ebay auction showing production techniques ?
I looked at the barrels and found them to be interesting too. Three of the barrels had no crowns on the muzzles. The owner of these barrels probably had lugers with sawed off tips from the WW1 treaty and the owner "restored" the lugers with new barrels.(Buyers Beware)
The other two barrels look in bad shape. One one them looks badly blood pitted and the other just looks badly pitted. The crowns on these muzzles gives me the gut feeling that at one time these were imports and somebody turned the barrels on lathe and took too much metal off. But, what looks like blood pitting on one of them, tells me otherwise.
These barrels don't look to me like they came from any factory. They more than likely came from some guy who replaced the barrels on some shooters and had them laying around the garage. He was probably cleaning out the garage, found them and decided to try to make some money on Ebay.
But this could be an interesting discussion on this forum for all types of lugerheads. I know that I will be watching.
