First luger...

Perhaps our Mauser aficionados will confirm that this a transitional gun? The safety lever has a round knob, Swiss style. IIRC, there was not quite a smooth transition from production of Swiss frame models to those configured like the P.08, and differences in their respective toggle ramps can be observed, as described in a post by Gerben some time ago...

It also has the straight grip frame, as per the 'Swiss style' Interarms Lugers. Still, at that price, it is a steal. If it hasn't sold already, you should grab it.

Rich is correct about the grip frame. Pardon my hallucination about the P.08 grip frame, it's Swiss. (Just zoomed in on the pic, whereas I did not, last night) So, forget about the transitional stuff, this should be the earlier Swiss frame, straight up, with 4" bbl.

I think everyone agrees so far that this one is very well priced.

There was a member here who was even looking to buy just the box! Can't go wrong on this one.
