lets play, whats wrong with this luger

Aside from the total incorrect reblue, neither barrel is original and correct for the gun. The barrel that is on the gun has had the flange almost completely machined away. Looks like it might be a short receiver barrel that has had the threaded portion lengthened by cutting back the flange. Too bad, it is a fairly early piece with a Type II safety.

I know nothing about the American Eagle Lugers...but E Pluribus Unum on a Luger??? The Great Seal??? I thought the Germans put a generic eagle motif on the chamber...

Live and learn...
