Finnish Luger Opinions

Thanks for the updated information guys! I have been out of town on business this past week and could not get time to check the Forum daily, but the first part of the week, I decided to "bite the bullet" and buy one of the Finnish Lugers.

The best price I found was from Military Gun Supply. I guess I could have waited to hope someone would be selling on the Forum or a gun show, but this is a "wait and see" option. I talked to the folks at MGS and they said they would ship me a nice one. I got home late last night and opened the box; I was pleasantly surprised with the condition. It was defeinetly reworked and had been slightly used after the rework. The sideplate has minor blue wear and the right rail has slight wear. All the wear appears to be holster wear. The barrel is like new inside, the numbers are all commercial stamped, I don't think any two numbers match that I saw so far. The magazine has a wood base, commercial type and the body is in perfect condition. It locks open fine, parts all appear great.

I am well pleased, but never paid this price for a reworked, mismatched Luger, but I probably will nver find an all matching pistol. I will clean it up good today or tomorrow and check it out good. The import stamp is located on the underside of the right rail and is not noticeable until you find it. It is well placed and I am happy about that.

I felt that the low number of these pistols will effect future price, but one never knows. I wanted one, and now I have one and I am happy. I figure at least the price in a few years will not cause me to lose money, but it is a great example to have in my collection. I have found that when I don't buy, the prices do climb, so I hope the Finnish Luger will too. I will get some photos and post when I get the time. Right now I am trying to get US Air to find my luggage, LOL!
