Vickers Luger problem

TheRomanhistorian · 09-14-2014, 11:24 AM

I checked for rust: a hint near the grip screws but that was it and the finish was maybe, at best, 50-60% overall. A cool pistol and I can't wait to show you all as I don't see affordable ones show up very often (mismatched or otherwise) and, like I said, fills in a niche in my collection.

It came with a nickel/steel tube wooden base magazine, too, not numbered to this gun.

I really appreciate all of your thoughts and help, everyone!

Ed, I also put up photos of a chrome/nickel-plated Luger I picked up. Wonder if it was a GI who did that after he returned home.
