#2 with the holster went for $1200 $300 holster..$900 pistol. Interesting. NO serial numbers bothers me some..James, I blew up the front frame marking but just couldn't see what it was?

the artillery barrel went for $550. That might have been the bargain. MIGHT have been..

Save your money. The right Luger will come along. Find a good Luger book and keep up the education. You want to be ready when the right one comes along.

On #2, the front had the letters "JC" on it. I'm like you though. the fact that there were no serial numbers at all spooked me. Hopefully it wasn't the holy grail of lugers or something

James,
surely not the "holy grail", but a custom make ticket to club Fed.
Obviously removed serial number is a big no-no.

Perhaps it would never come up, but it could.

You were/are wise to pass.

We saw a post with three #1 serial pistols not long ago, with the same "problem".
