Cavalry Luger

George Anderson · 06-01-2016, 04:06 PM

A 1910 dated DWM issued to 4.Jaeger zu Pherd, 4.Eskadron. Waffe 13. I acquired it several years ago.

George Anderson · 06-01-2016, 04:11 PM

A couple of weeks ago I snagged its stable mate in an obscure Florida auction. A happy find but no matching mag with this one. Unit marking is 4.Jaeger zu Pherd, 2.Eskadron. Waffe 14.

George Anderson · 06-01-2016, 04:13 PM

A few more photos.

mrerick · 06-01-2016, 04:15 PM

George, that's a particularly nice pair and also photo presentation. Thanks for sharing it!

It's interesting that only three weapons apart in the unit, they are a few thousand serial numbers away from each other.

Now, if you show up next with the horse, I'll be beyond impressed!

roadkill1 · 06-01-2016, 04:17 PM

What a great pair.....Congrats.

I don't like horses, they step on your feet and they bite.

Norme · 06-01-2016, 04:21 PM

Pretty amazing collection you have there George, thanks for showing. Are the saddle, sabre and pickelhaube unit marked as well?
Best regards, Norm

George Anderson · 06-01-2016, 04:25 PM

Norm, the sabre and saddle are marked to 1.J.z.P., the lobster-tail isn't marked but it's a helmet unique to JZP units.

DonVoigt · 06-01-2016, 07:27 PM

Nice to see the rig and the two pistols together after so long a journey!

Simply beautiful presentation of some rare historical artifacts. Collectors can congratulate themselves for caretaking these things..A job well done Sir!

Great Geo, really nice rigs and equipment

wayne8661 · 06-01-2016, 09:16 PM

George beautiful weapons my two favorite that I own are also unit marked 1910's.
Yours are awesome!!!

Eugen · 06-01-2016, 09:41 PM

Beautiful! I am really jealous.

Amazing Lugers George. Thanks for sharing.

ithacaartist · 06-02-2016, 12:24 AM

Nice documentation of a reunion! *sigh* But now I think I need a pre-1914 configured Luger. I've begun to appreciate the uncluttered look of no grip safety or stock lug. Sort of like my LP.08 (sans stock lug).

Sergio Natali · 06-02-2016, 05:37 AM

Gorgeous presentation of awsome Lugers, congratulations, and thanks a lot for sharing!

Ron Wood · 06-02-2016, 09:45 AM

More world class stuff from the treasure trove of the esteemed Mr. Anderson. Well done George!

Cool stuff Geo, You need a horse for sure...........John

John Sabato · 06-02-2016, 10:01 AM

All I can add is WOW George! Thanks so much for increasing all of our collective knowledge and sharing such fine photographs.

Be sure to mention me in your will!

George:

I agree with John, you DO need a horse and I know where you can get four REAL cheap........
