New-to-me S Luger

welcome to the forum!

pictures, lots of pictures

you don't take care of a luger any different than any other gun, cleaning (light) - oil them - don't get oil on grips or holster

if you shoot it, you are liable to destroy thousands of dollars of gun and make it a shooter

backstory on how you acquired it?

I don't have a cellphone and don't know how to take pics that can then go on the computer. Are there any forum members in the DC-Metro area who could take some pics of my gun and post them?

OK, thanks for the tip not to shoot it. I had pretty much come to that same conclusion myself, having read other comments on this forum. I am not a collector. This is my first Luger.

Backstory is that the gun, holster, etc. came to the US after WWII, carried by a former US Army soldier who lived on Eastern Long Island. That's what I was told. At some point, it passed from that veteran to the fellow from whom I purchased it.
