Luger tools... What have I got ?

lance762 · 02-09-2015, 05:44 AM

Hi there, This is the first time I have posted on the forum and I hope the members here can provide me with some answers.
I have a selection of Luger tools that I have gathered up over the years.
From some of the previous posts, I believe one of the the tools may be East German ? The others I don't know. I would value any opinions as to what I have.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I am still curious as to what I have, any thoughts appreciated.

The pictures are of three takedown tools. Thanks.

Hi Lance, I missed seeing your first post, so a belated welcome to the forum! The tool on the right with the serrated thumb piece is indeed East German, the one in the middle looks like a modern repro, and the one on the left might be an unmarked Mauser tool but it too, could be a repro.
Regards, Norm

Thank you very much for your reply and your kind welcome to the forum. It looks like I'll have to continue searching if I'm going to find
one to go with my 1918 Erfurt.
Thanks.

Ay up

Welcome to this Forum of Luger enthusiats.

I'm not sure about the one on the right but to me the other two are modern repros.
Strangely enough I cannot see any mark on them.
The market is chock full of fakes, genuine ones are pretty difficult to find.
