Like some Goddess's she's pretty... but deep down a monster. Don't look too long..she might captivate you.

I’m impressed, it’s clearly high quality work and I’m pleased to see that no collectible gun was harmed in it’s fabrication. The top half may have come from an Artillery but it’s frame is Mauser.

Looks like one of those Mitchell's Mauser creations.

"Artillery Luger Custom".
I don't usually care for "decorated" firearms; but that luger is as tastefully done as any I have seen; even the price is not "too" outrageous. I would lose the stag grips though.

The original serial number on the frame appears to have been altered. Is this gun even legal to own?

Back in the 50s, EMF or someone like that had a neat catalogue with many pages of WW 2 German pistols.
Many looked like this. Spent many hours drooling over them. just a kid with no money then. |

I would lose the stag grips though. WHAT? That's one of the few things I like about it!

I just don't like them, on guns or knives- so you can have them all!

I'm with Don, I think the OP's gun would look classier with faux ivory grips. The nicest embellished Luger I've seen so far is the Navy shown below, OK maybe I'm a little biased!

I would have no problem being the owner of that custom arty.......if I had an extra $4K+. I like quality engraved handguns and shotguns. I don't have many due to their value, but I like them nevertheless.

The stag grips were what prompted my vision...Imagine, if you will, Zorba being deputized by Walt Longmire...
Gritty, down-to-earth, as we all know Zorba is, shown by the stag grips...Balanced by elegance, as demonstrated by the engraving...And class, namely the gold inlays... I'm straining to envision the western boots now...

MOP grips FTW!
I'm not a big fan of stag grips either. I tend to like guns like this, as long as "no collectibles were harmed" - BUT - I wouldn't pay $5K for it! |
