simpson/G date value

byf42 · 03-14-2005, 03:11 PM

I was recently offered a very odd mis-matched luger.
2 digit simson frame and toggle train. Not reblued
G date barrel and slide. takedown lever appears to be from the G-date side of the fence.
wooden bottom magzine with numbers not legible.

Finish looks original on both.

Frosty bore, but lands and grooves still sharp

Is $500 out of line for this?

This sounds like an exotic shooter. Since most shooters are now in the $500 range if decent, yours is probably worh more than that as parts. TH

byf42, $500 plus a little more will get you a decent matching Luger. I'd stay away from an "odd, mismatched gun". There are enough nice matching guns available that make a gun like you've discribed pretty undesireable. Try Simpson or Ralph Shattuck for reputible dealers as well as the Lugerforum members who have guns to sell.
