DDR Lugers

mm · 03-13-2002, 09:56 PM

I am interested in aquiring an East German arsenal rework luger with those cheesy brown plastic bullseye grips and shoddy dip bluing, mix-matched numbers, and all. I want it for two reasons: 1) I collect communist block firearms - E.German rework Third Reich weapons are historically interesting to some of us; and 2)I love Lugers.

I have an all matching 41 byf in 90+ w/orig. bakelite grips and fxo mags w/orig holster. I would hate to break a numbered part and have its value diminished. A DDR luger would not present this same risk.

Questions: For a DDR luger in excellent working condition -what price range am I looking at?

Lugers were numbered for a reason - fit affects function - are mismatched lugers that much more prone to malfunction?

Any responses appreciated. mm
