Odd 1938 Mauser Luger?

alanint · 05-04-2010, 09:36 AM

The barrel is marked "ca. 7.65"
The markings are odd, starting with the single eagle on the right receiver to the two large eagles on the barrel and what appears to be a hand engraved caliber marking

If this gun has 1938 on the chamber (not shown in the photos), then it is a real "Mixmaster". Luger frames weren't marked P08 until 1941. Regards

Thanks! I missed that!

It has the comma rather than the American period...maybe a European re-barrel???

They even plated the takedown lever spring...that's dedication!!!

Hmmm...Safety lever doesn't look like it's been used much since being plated...

White ivory grips w/Swastika medallions...I recall seeing a pic of something like that here...or linked here...those would look great on this nickel Luger!!!

Definately a gunshow table crowd getter!!! I can see arguments & maybe fistfights breaking out over this piece!!!
