At $7500 it isn't a bad buy, but I am still glad I already have one.

Edward Tinker · 02-07-2006, 11:12 PM

but, I don't want one...

Ron Smith · 02-08-2006, 10:16 AM

I think it's boosted anyway. The "Trash E.T." proofs were only used in 1985. ( Ref: page 96 Fensterwald's " Luger Garbage Trucks and Accessories") There's no halo around the letters. And the flies are Bluetails. Should be Blow flies...?

damn! I don't have a life...

Edward Tinker · 02-08-2006, 10:19 AM

I was just offended that someone wanted to "trash" me

Rod WMG · 02-08-2006, 12:20 PM

Now I'd probably be interested if Ed had signed instead of initialing!

hqbmw · 02-08-2006, 02:34 PM

I didn't see any witness marks on the images. How can we be sure it's a real Luger?

Jack, you are looking at the wrong "side"

wlyon · 02-08-2006, 04:12 PM

Here we go again with another rare Officers Model. Bill

Lyn Islaub · 02-08-2006, 05:32 PM

Can't be an officers model, as it's not chrome plated.

Edward Tinker · 02-08-2006, 06:17 PM

the chrome ones are for navy ships aren't they?

Railsplitter · 02-09-2006, 12:18 AM

Is it matched?

Ponyman · 02-10-2006, 11:29 AM

Ed, is this where you've been dumping your uncooperative Lugers?
