Persian Luger

[Patrick]

George, I�´m sure that any of the internationally acclaimed Luger authorities would be glad to charge you for an appraisal. But they would need more information than has been made available as yet.


When was the Mauser made? What is the serial number? Is it fully-numbered? Are the magazines marked with the pistol? If it is a pre-war Luger, why did the U.S. officer take the trouble to present the Shah with a pistol that had been issued in large numbers to his own armed forces or had already de-commissioned? What proof is there that it was ever the Shah�´s property? Who sold it - and how did he get it?


All these questions (and a few more) would have to receive satisfactory answers. Without answers, the engraving is merely detrimental to the value of the pistol. Patrick
