Pacific Arms

I've seen reference to Pacific Arms, but find no info on them. Is this an old company or current?
Did they rebuild guns to original configureation or ?

Thanks

Since it seems that there is some interest in this company, I am considering giving my copy of their brochure to my company's printer and having it duplicated. I would then make copies available at cost.

Pacific Arms seems to have been a post WWI importer and mail order retailer. They also had in-house smiths. Their product line included any kind of luger one can imagine including lots of made-up fantasy versions like the 16 incher posted in Artilleries above.

Beyond lugers, they sold silencers, MP18 Bergmanns, Thompsons, colts, etc.

George,

Why not create a Member Gallery Album and post the pages in a similar manner that I did with the Original Luger Patent images. The photos can be high resolution (no file size limitation) and folks can spend hours looking over the catalog...

The nice thing is that there is no cost involved for you, your employer or anyone else... and a gun related publication will live as long as this web site does... and I think that will be a VERY long time...

Pacific Arms of San Francisco,Ca. was the west coast equivalent of Stoeger on the east coast. Their 1924 Catalog (reprints are available from Mike Krause of San Mateo, Ca) shows various surplus hand guns, rifles, Shotguns, scopes, binoculars, etc. Also a good selection of luger parts including 4,6,8,12 & 16 inch barrels. I purchased most of their remaining luger & broom parts over 20 years ago from a nephew of the owner. He found them in a roll top desk that he inherited that had been in storage for over 40 years.
