1918 Scoped Erfurt Luger?

[John Sabato]

Since the collector value of this Luger has been lost, I would take advantage of the work that has been done... have the gun reblued, and if you don't have the original scope mount, find a machinest friend and have one fabricated... it should at least make an interesting shooter... with an appropriate pistol scope mounted...

Since the Luger is top ejecting, your mount should include a surface that would bounce the ejected shell casings off to the left...

You can get a replacement ejector from several sources... I would try Tom Heller first... (Lugerdoc).

I would only estimate the value to be between $250-$450 for the parts... as a shooter, the enjoyment value is limited only by your time, ammunition and a safe place to shoot...

I would keep it and use it as recommended above... although you could have this frame welded and restored, the price would be much more than gun is currently worth...
