Renato Gamba Luger

lugerholsterrepair · 10-07-2013, 08:08 PM

Looks like a pretty nice pistol to me. I am reminded looking at it of fake Pakistani Luger holsters. It is an eyesore. I can't tell 100% but it looks like they were too cheap to put on the lanyard staple.
The sideplate is a weird purple. There is strange maker marks on the front grip strap and bad looking markings elsewhere..and what did they try to polish off the Chamber area? A Polish Eagle with RG?
This pistol looks like an Airsoft BB gun.
For that kind of $$ you could sure end up with a REAL Luger.

This is one of the (few I suppose) pistols that Mauser made for the Renato Gamba Company of Gardone Valtrompia.

I've seen a couple of them, they are like the "Anniversary" ones made by Mauser in the period 1972 1979 to celebrate Mauser " Russian contract ", although this one is a standard p.08, others were probably made with the old W+F machine tools, in fact these pistols have many things in common with W+F 1906/29
To me beautiful guns but without a soul ... (no history)
