Old Luger basket case

bigstickjddi · 01-21-2022, 08:06 AM

Hello all, my name is Jon. I recently bought an older Luger in pieces. I am new to this forum, so I may need a moment to navigate my way around. The story is that it was battlefield found, then disassembled, and stored in a box for many years. I have almost completed re assembly, but have sooo many questions that I’m not sure where to start. I am now trying to put pics on here. Thank you, I will be back!

Welcome.
Look at a lot of posts with good pictures and then be sure to get the important areas in your picture post.

Read the FAQ before you start asking questions- will save you a lot of typing!

Oooowww!!!...A basket case! Like a big jigsaw puzzle!

Make sure to show all the parts you will have left over!

(And all the holes with nothing in them!)
