Troubleshooting my new luger.

Frater · 10-18-2011, 11:30 AM

When showing the gun at the range a while ago one of the older guys did a double take and exclaimed that he had actually owned this exact gun back in the early sixties! Turns out he bought this and four other lugers in a bag from a finnish miner who did some shooting at the local range. The guns went for 35$ each (adjusting for inflation and historical currency rates), the set included a couple of marine lugers.

This specimen was then sold on to a swedish mine worker in the northern districts. Forty years later I bought it from a guy in Stockholm for 350$. =)
