This one came with a nice 1940 holster, pics in the holster section.
No mags.

A very nice hard to find variation!

Nice pistol. Roughly 6,000 guns away from the one I posted yesterday, serial # 2125Q. Yours has nicer remaining finish, though. No holster with mine, but that can be cured.

FWICS it looks like a very very nice luger.

That's a great 1937 luger - well done.

Are there still a lot of Lugers in Norway?....I believe there were many left there at the end of WW2

At what Letter Suffix do we see the Salt Blue come in?

tharpo · 08-30-2017, 09:13 PM

Salt blue shows up in the q/r suffixes.

There are many Lugers in Norway, but the most of them have seen hard use of the Norwegian army until the 80,s.

A lot of the German navy was tucker-away in Norwegian fiords at the end of WW2 plus land based occupation troops, that was one of the prime buying location for the predicessor of Interarms and other dealers. I believe that Norway currently prohibits the export of any of their military arms. TH
