bitten by the Bug again

[Arminius]

Hello to all!

Lugerforums was my second Gun Forum ( HiPowers are my LOVE ;-)), but somehow I got distracted ... got a SEVERE case of BRD ( Black Rifle Disease ), and besides, I have a Stress Job, Children, am a Hunter ...

After my Mauser Parabellum of 1976 or 77, in BNIB condition I didn´t look for Lugers for a loooong time.

Then Lightning struck.

I don´t know why, but suddenly last Year I started looking for a Navy 6" Luger.

One sold at an Auction for a solid € 3400. VERY nice IMO.

And today, in an act of total mental disease I bought one myself.

1918, DWM, 6" Barrel, strawed parts, but reblued, markings somewhat shallow ( ??? ) ( I am no Expert ), seems to be done by a Master, though.

One matching number nickeled mag with Wood base with concentric rings.

somewhat shallow rifling, IMO.

NEW REPRO RIG, with black Holster attached to wooden stock, sling, double mag pouch, was included. cleaning rod, too, no tool.

Pic of Original Unit to which it was issued, with Name of WW II ancestor, which preserved the gun until 1988, then sold it to my Seller.

Didn´t shoot it yet.

Will try for pix.

What should I look out for, I want to shoot it, since it´s reblued, occasionally, with Lapua Luger Load only.

Shalll I get replacement FP, FP Spring, Recoil Spring, Extractor, Grips ( of course keeping the original parts! ) and shoot it occasionally?

Thanks for any Input, Hermann
