Lugers stolen
Last night, June 19, 2012, a person or persons broke into a home in Patterson Louisiana. Patterson is a small town in South Louisiana about 80 or so miles west of New Orleans. Stolen from the home was a Colt collection, a Luger collection, a few Winchester rifles and several very valuable pocket watches along with assorted silver dollars. Please be on the look out for anyone trying to sell some or all of these items. I will have a list of the serial numbers later today.

Although I know nothing about this case. It sounds like the thieves were aware of the value and the extent of the collection.

Hope the insurance was in place, that should soften the loss a bit.

It just goes to show how stupid some people are. The thief was trying to sell easily identifiable guns in the same city as where they were stolen, and on top of that to an FFL dealer who will run the serial number on any gun he buys. The fact that he also happened to go to the very same guy he stole it from makes it even better. |

I found out years ago , if they want in they wil get in, but if you make it so difficult and most are not safe crackers they tend to go somewhere it is easier and leave your house alone.

No letter suffixes, that could be a problem for some of those.

I guess those guns, coins, paper money, jewelries and watches were not stored in a single place.... and they found all of them and took them away??? Sounds like familiar with the environment... and at night, no one hear any noise??

To help make the case report information show up in the search engines, I'll re-enter Luger related lines as plain text:
1937 German Luger S/42 four inch barrel serial number 4794 1906 American Eagle (?) Inch barrel serial number 30246 1917 DWM Artillery Eight Inch barrel serial number 8986 1920 DWM eight inch barrel serial number 7759 1916 DWM eight inch barrel serial number 2315 42 Nazi BYI (BYF) four inch barrel serial number 1668 1914 DWM Artillery eight inch barrel with matching snail drum serial number 796 1917 DWM Artillery eight inch barrel serial number 6383 I did have difficult reading the report due to the low resolution of the scan. Please correct any number that I got wrong... These clearly don't include the suffix letter normally found on the serial number. Marc

Good job, You have a little typo...that 1914 DWM Arty has a "matching" snail drum not "marking"
I am wondering if the letter suffix on some of the guns was not recognized as part of the serial number by whoever compiled the list.

Many thanks for all the support and input.
To Jerry, Arlen Alexander, owner of Alexander's gun shop and very good friend of the victim, emailed this list to me. His name appears on the email that he sent. Mike |
