Vet Bring Back Mauser Luger

The old adage "buy the gun and not the story" is very much in play here IMO. I agree with Spangy that a few days in muddy water would not cause that much corrosion unless there was a chemical in that water. The first thing the troop who recovered it would have done is clean and oil it.

I'd also want a look at the bore as a few days without cleaning if corrosive cartridges had been fired through it would cause damage.

If you buy the gun, buy it for what you see and not for any story that comes with it.
