Does your Luger have rust on it???

No no rust on it

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on becoming a Luger owner, and enjoying it by shooting it.

Brodie · 01-29-2013, 04:48 PM

Thank you
I am already a Proud owner of a Gew98 and a Lee Enfield both from 1916
But shooting the luger is quiet defrent

Curly1 · 01-29-2013, 07:16 PM

Welcome, nice Luger.

Welcome to the forum!
Nice Luger! So nice that I would avoid to shoot it, as any damage will destroy its value as a collectable piece (assuming the gun is all matching).
But, this is just my humble opinion.
All the best,
Douglas

Sadly, most Europeans cannot simply own multiple guns to have both shooters and collectables.

Brodie · 01-30-2013, 07:17 AM

I am in Holland and i can own 5 guns on my liecens.
And yes all matching numbers only the magazin is not.

I am looking for a spare magazine so if some one has one please let me know

Gooie Morgan, I lived in Lindberg for seven years, loved it and the dutch!

Nice looking 1915 (and of course would not have 'Rust" on the safety

The Nederlands Firearms club is nice, I have been to one meeting around 1,5 yrs ago and several members are friends of mine.

Can someone help me with this marking?

Is it the regimentel nummber?

DavidJayUden · 01-30-2013, 10:48 AM

I can only guess that it is some type of rack or inventory control number, but without other marks it is tough to say.
