Great pic of it disassembled!

I'm often annoyed at Luger/Mauser/anything owners who are afraid to disassemble their pistol...they usually end up posting about problems they are having...

Nice clear pictures of a very nice looking Luger. In the takedown shot it looks like the rear toggle pin has gone missing! Regards

HA! I was wondering who'd notice that. I noticed it just as soon as I put the camera away and began reassembly. I wasn't inclined to re-arrange everything and try and take the shot again just for the pins sake. Norme wins the "attention to detail" award of the day!
Thanks for the compliments. It is a nice pistol, and looks even better in person. The photos show some oxidation on the barrel that is all but invisible to the naked eye in normal light. I was surprised to see it in the pictures and had to re-examine it up close to make sure it was there.

Usually they are engineer types


Nice looking luger !!! (and this is a normal strip down for me, I meant, completely apart)

Yeah!!! I love trains...

The last time I visited the National Battlefield Park in Gettysberg, my last wife & I took a ride on the old coal-fired locomotive train there...It was a riot (well, us goofing off about it was)...Wooden pax cars with church pew seats...Engineers with lunch boxes big enough to hold a bottle of Jack Daniels...(maybe two)...We had a blast...Broke up everybody in our car...
