Kruger 98 Luger

Proofed · 05-27-2020, 11:30 PM

Here is a vintage Kruger 98 cap pistol, shoots #6 bird shot with a cap or two. The ads are from 1953 and 1955 , don't think this one has ever been fired.
I recall hearing about a cleaning rod, anybody know anything about that.?

I had one of those as a kid, and I still have one. They are fun to shoot and work as advertised, but the caps are highly corrosive. Unless you have an unfired one or someone took extraordinary care in cleaning it, the metal parts are most assuredly rusted. Fond memories

Cool toys back then, not so much now.

I had a mini Browning M2 50 cal machine gun with a phony belt of ammo. Batteries powered the machine gun sound and a red piece went in and out of the muzzle. Guns were cool for kids then.
