Given that they have fine tune front sights, I shudder to think of what models could make up some of the donor pistols.

Yes!!

I'm red in the face over this little piece of work!!!!

By the way, look at the crappy way the grips fit, particularly around the safety!!!!

Now, lets all have an historical orgasm over the little company in Richmond Virginia that "produced" these "valuable collectibles"!!!!!!!

Does an adjustable front sight add value and how much to a typical normal blued artillery luger?

Charge payment in full of $9,995 per firearm to my credit card.
The American Historical Foundation is a perverted perversion of history. They have destroyed the true history of at least 25 Artillery pistols.
Sieger is right, the grip fit at the safety lever is so poor it looks like a cutaway! You can see into the interior of the pistol!
And what Idiocy! The ruby's implanted in the front sight base are worth all of five bucks. I had to squint to see them at all. What rubbish! The only justice for these entrepaneurs is if they were to be stuck with all 25 of them.

I took a close look at this site and these people are actually a menace to firearms history. They have been busy butchering all kinds of historical artifacts! Really a sad situation to see them destroy so much and whats sadder is to think there are so called "collectors" who would buy this trash.

Kinda reminds me of a quote from a source I do not remember, "I had a plan to conquer poverty and bring world peace but got distracted by something shiney.".

There are a LOT of morons out there.

The Australian War Memorial in Canberra has quite a few Von Richhofen relics, but I don't think they've got an Arty that looks like that!

For those of you who don't know "the Red Baron" was shot down by ground fire and crashed in an area controlled by Aussies. As a result the War Memorial has all sorts of goodies "picked up" at the time.

They've even got his flying boots! (Aussie soldiers are terrible bower-birds)

"BTW, I did not know that the Red Baron carried 25 LP08's...no wonder he crashed..."


Priceless, tac. I needed a good laugh today.

The proof the criminals aren't long in the brain dept is the embellishment of that sort of gun IMO. A little more of that sort of thing and serious money would be involved.

Thought I would snag the photo of the Baron's arty luger...before the photo is lost to the ages...

Imagine he actually signed his signature on each his surviving pistols...
