Jason.... Getting back to your luger..... Since you are getting very good at pictures, I would appreciate a shot of the inside of the side plate. What I am looking for it the number that should be stamped inside.

IMO your gun is right as rain based on what I can see. Great find with 2 matching mags.

Bluebook value is about $4000 on the gun and the holster is worth another $300 or more.

These are "retail" numbers.

All you need is a E/655 tool to complete the rig........

Thanks Tau-delt!, I will try to post a nice clear picture of the backside of the sideplate. If I remember correctly the number 75 is stamped on it, but I'll check. The tool in my holster almost looks like it was stamped E/655 but it is worn off some. Anyway thank you for the informaation and check back for the new pics.

Jason... Take a pic of the tool as well if you have the time......

Your's is a literal translation, but not an historically accurate one.

The first part of the sentence is a quote from the King of Saxony upon his forced abdication in 1918. A better translation would be..."Now your free to do your "own thing". A Klugscheisser is better translated as a "know it all", but in a town clown sort of way.

Given the tone of Mr. George's remarks to me, arrogant and condescending, I think I was quite civilized with him.
