Be Careful...

What this seller does not state (but does show in the photos), is that there are three (3) different serial numbers on the Swiss M1929 luger :

Main serial is # 55539, but the barrel has # 59169 and the rear toggle link has # 64605.

Front sight blade is not the Swiss style either...

Pete, And the seller calls this gun "Near-Mint". It's not even close to mint in my book. I would classify it as a mis-matched shooter. I'm sure that Swiss shooters can be found for less than $2K.

Seller should go by a name of "loopy"...not "lope".

Maybe he just does not know...

I had allready sent him a pm that his pistol was wrong if he dont chage its description then that tells his story.clint

It would make a great $ 950 shooter...if you can convince him to reconsider his pricing...

BTW...the photo may show a bore that is just too big to be 7,65 mm. Maybe a 9 mm replacement in 4-3/4" length. The front sight barrel band does not look right and appears too "fat" as well...

I had allready e mailed him before I seen this ,He exposed my bad speeling when he took my comment public. Should I sue??

This is the Hanson & Hanson outfit out of CT. They don't handle much in the way of Lugers (and it shows).

This part of the write-up probably needs an edit as well :

"...A SUPERB collectible..."

I bought a holster from them and it had a couple of tears in the loops that was not mentioned in the description or shown in the pics. I informed them of the problem and got a complete refund including shipping. They were fair in the return but lacked up front.

Jerry,

I have had very similar experiences with them, and have bought a few pieces, but have learned to call first and ask them to go over the item. They seem honest, just careless and/or uninformed in their descriptons.
