Hi every one.. just picked up a luger seems to be above 90% bluing- no pitting all numbers match except the mag no history the guy has had this gun since the mid seventies no longer wanted it (failing health)
I would like to post some pics but am clueless on how to proceed
its dated 1939 model 42 (pretty common) for all ive read on the forum all the numbers ...barrel - safety- side plate all the numbers are there and match I paid $700. after he came from our local gun shop and was told the owner of the gun shop offered him $600. He called me and said (he's from Germany) I dont trust him if I wanted it he would take $700.00 - I told him it may be worth more . He was happy with the $700.00 as long as i was ok with it - I said sure and here we are - so can any one put a value on this great old piece of history - ? Even if it worth less im happy to own it
Best regards to all and thanx for your replies
Happy Halloween
