A Rare Find

[Mike B]

I have heard that you never know what might walk in at a gun show. Of course, when good fortune happens, it always seems to happen to the guy at the next table. Well this time, I think it was my turn. This past weekend during the Tulsa show, an elderly gentleman walked up to my table with a home made back pack hanging around his neck. He was carrying what looked like a Luger holster in one hand. I asked him what was in the holster. He reached in the "sack" and pulled out a copy of "Imperial Lugers" by Mr.Jan Still. He opened the book to page 137 and layed the Luger on the book and said, "I want to sell THAT Luger". And he did have "THAT" Luger. Same markings, same serial, same Luger. Along with Luger came a 1935 Police holster, the Imperial book and two magazines, neither of which are proper for the 1910. It appears that the mag and the grips have been replaced since the picture in Mr. Still's book was taken, as the grips are not properly marked. So here is sharing with the forum a most unusual Luger. BTW, please see page 137 of Imperial Lugers.
