Hello,

Been collecting WW2 arms for a few years now. I've recently gotten the fever for a luger! I've been researching around here and other forums trying to gain as much knowledge prior to the big purchase. A luger will probably be the most expensive firearm in my collection at this time. I'm looking for a nice collector piece, aka a non shooter. I've come across a few Lugers locally, but most of them have been sub-par and overpriced. I recently came across a 1938 S/42 non matching, with capture papers, 1939 holster and 1 non matching mag. I haven't seen the pistol in person, but had a friend check it out for me today. He confirmed that the gun is non matching, the paperwork looks legitimate, and the holster looks correct too. He has no experience with Lugers...so I take his opionion lightly. I figured I'd come here and ask... The owner of the gun said it is on consignment from the Vets family, and that the gun has been reworked during the war. He would not let my buddy remove the grips to inspect. The capture papers do match the frame? serial #. The barrel apparently matches, the mag does not.

Thanks guys!
