M1914 Navy Luger...

Tom,
yes, absolutely, your checking on the oxidation of the bluing and having you at my side as I physically examined this gun would be the only way that I would consider buying it. Fortuately, I have a bunch of model 1914's so I am not going to worry about it. Now that 1906 2nd issue thats been on the auction block for a long time may be another story. Nice, but too high priced for me. But it would fill an empty slot for me.

I have two excellent 1917's w/matching mags and I am trying to negotiate a trade of one of them and some boot for a nice "Fat Barrel". But I have failed so far. The guy is a fanatic for very nice 1900's and 1906's (mostly Swiss). But he has an artillery but no navies and that is my negotiating position. God! I hate to give up a nice navy w/matching mag. Maybe he will take a nice 1900 AE with ideal stock and grips with boot instead. Ah, this negotiating can be nerve wrecking...but fun.

Pete,
I gave up on my plan to go grouse hunting this fall. The weather was too rainy and cloudy. Grouse just don't flush good in bad weather and I am not about to sit in my motorhome for 3-4 days waiting for the storms to pass over. But I am beginning to set myself up for rifle deer season. Lets see...scotch, beer, pretzels, my dog...
