1918 Mauser Luger info

Szyp · 08-27-2012, 11:37 PM

Sorry about that- on the top of the pistol is "engraved 1920 and a stylized oval Mauser. I know the gun has been rebuilt- is it possible it is a cobbled together gun? I do not have the gun in my possession yet- waiting for the NJ permit, so my FFL is holding it for a couple of days. Then I will post a photo. When I say engraved I mean stamped cleanly into the metal. The toggle is blank. Thank you for your kindnesses. Some day Maybe I can contribute and not just take. Before I can be sure I answered you correctly, what part is the toggle? Once I know that, I can check it for sure. The reason for the year confusion is that I was looking at 2 shooter grades-one a 1918, unrebuilt, and since I wanted a shooter,the 1020 seemed a better buy because it had been rebuilt. I bought it from a dentist who collects Lugers and is making room to expand his new interest in broomhandle Mausers. Thank you again.
