Imagine an officer really having this done to his luger...?

Brazen bullfeathers! Who and where does one get info like what is purported to be in this auction! The thing looks buffed and badly reblued.

Sigh . . . . . .

I never cease to be amazed.

Doc,

Actually the holsters WERE made of Brazen Bullfeathers and are extremely rare. Cow hide wasn't good enough for a Higher Ranking officers gold inlaid luger.

Nice plumb color though....

Should a man take the chance or should he just go ahead and hit the BUY IT NOW button to be safe.

and was apparently one of a group specially refinished after initial manufacture for higher officers. Special finish .

Apparently? Apparent to whom? It might have been refinished after initial manufacture for a higher American Officer. Regardless, it is now a shooter..$600-$800. Jerry Burney

Yes, I am sure that someone took out the part and slowly filed it down, so the next time it was used it would go full auto, shoot all the german in front and then the victims could cry that they were being shot at by a machine pistol....

More likely a bubba thinking that if he "lightened" the spring it would shoot better....

Okay,
Just my suspisious nature but.... #1 He puts a brass inlay in the sight. Dinks with the sear to get a better trigger pull. [Screws it up.] He had it reblued, and gets it back. [Crappy job].

#2 He did everything himself, wanting to be a gunsmith, with the same "Bubba" results.

#3 decides to make up a "Brazen Bullfeathers" story to milk it for every cent he thinks someone will be dumb enough to pay for it.

Clint, Go for the Buy It Now, this one is a winner.

I think a new term has crept into the Luger vocabulary. "Brazen Bullfeathers" should be made into a graphic stamp that some computer whiz could figure out how to hack into garbage ads like this. The "SS" Luger in another thread also needs such a stamp.

You have to wonder if some of these idiots actually believe the stuff they write. It is hard to conceive that someone would actually think the buying public is that gullible...or maybe there really are enough clueless folks out there to constitute a market for this junk.
