WOW!!!
I checked my pocket and I am a little short for this one. What do you experts think about it? Luger Carbine

This particular combination isn't even LEGAL! The stock is from an Artillery Model Luger, not a Carbine. Attaching one to the other is a Federal Offense!
The photo isn't very clear, but it appears that the wooden forend isn't original either. The pieces and parts might be worth $1500.00 but $150,000 is the best laugh I have had all day

Seems like a lot of kooks just keep coming out of the woodwork. I wish I could get some idea of where they are getting the bad advice to offer thes guns at these prices. I guess one too many Antique Road shows! Jerry Burney

You gentlemen summed it up very well! Even to my untrained eyes it did not "look correct" to me. I also thought it looked like an artillery stock that was added to the pistol. For my $150,000 I expect a lot more! I also wonder where he came up with that price for the pistol. I don't think it came from the Blue Book!

Scott, I "assumed" it was a mis-type on the sellers part, but obviously not!
Just uninformed and extremly hopeful! Ed
