Fire blued front sight

G.T. · 08-29-2002, 10:52 AM

Hi Ted! I don't know about the early pistols, but I saw an art. model in the mid. 1990's that had been in a bank safe since 1920!!! Two oooold gentlemen had brought it in to a boat shop where I worked at the time, as they had heard I knew a little about lugers... one thing I remember vividly was that the front sight, breechblock to forward toggle pin, and grip screws were the most beautiful fire blue I had ever seen! It was untouched 99%+ gun by any standards! Never saw or heard about the gun again! As the two gentlemen were just kicking tires at the time..... till....later....G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
