Stumbled into a family heirloom....

itchyfinger · 08-21-2009, 10:52 PM

My wifes grandfather recently passed away and he left me his bring back 1913 Luger. Best I can tell, it's all numbers matching, wood on the left grip is weak, but it has the original holster (I think), non numbers matching magazine, and is about 80-85% on the finish. He and I talked about it a few times, and he told me the story behind it, but I never dreamed I'd end up with it. I'll be here asking lots of stupid questions so I hope you guys are patient with me.

Great looking site, glad to be here!

I'm working on getting my camera back from the guy I loaned it to, then I'll post the whole thing up.
