Me too. I am also not too concerned about firing pins and holdopens

Hmmmmm...I think I would consider wooden grips to be a 'consumable' item; but if I were looking for a Model 1900 Luger, I would want an "all matching 1900" to have matching FP & HO...

( I use that example because I may be shopping for a 1900 before too long)...

Good luck with that. 1900 FP & HO aren't numbered.

TBarker13.....After you get the Luger home, how about posting close-up photos of the markings, serial number, etc...By the way, I like the honest holster wear on the blued high points.

Congradulations on your, "I will take it" decision.

When I go to estate auctions, they usually have worn out .22's, beat to hell shotguns and rusted pistols. Of course, that's in Kansas (farmers) when I'm visiting my parents.

Well, when we use up all our stuff, we lay down and die. Relatives sell what we leave behind.

Well, this one is mine now. Went over the guy's place today and picked it up.
Will post better photos soon...
