1st Luger purchase

[Eugen]

JB, that is an interesting police pistol. I am too new collecting lugers to be able to advise you on what a fair price would be. I just purchased a police refurbished 1918 Erfurt and just posted here about.it. I paid $800 for the particular nonmatching Weimer era luger and an pleased with it because it is a great shooter. That is why I bought it: to shoot it like I hate it. LOL

Welcome to the forum and the excitement over playing with Lugers.

Eugen,
Thanks for the comment, I wish I could find a nice Luger for $800 everything I have come across in that price range is rusted, pitted, and worn out but I will keep looking.

JB, then jump on this one, especially if you can negotiate a slightly lower price. You definitely want to own a "shooter" that you can enjoy and play with fearlessly. I would recommend a shooter grade luger for your first.

I am not a collector and have little experience with Lugers other than looking at pictures. In spite of that, the stamping on the barrel seems odd...That it has the suffix stamped there, and that it is on the same plane as the land dimension...But if it is a police Luger, it may have been re-barreled by them...

Sheep, Thanks for the reply I am trying to make up my mind and all the information from you guys is helping me make up my mind. Love the line about the coffee and women

Eugen,
If I own it, I shoot it. Never have and never will have a "safe queen". What good is a gun if you can't shoot it???
