Alphabety Commercial

Doubs, nice shooting and nice Luger. One of the best shooters I ever had was a pre-alphabet 5 digit commercia in 7.65. It wasn't much to look at, but it was accurate.

Thank you. I bought my first Alphabet Commercial from a pawn shop on 1st Avenue in Seattle in 1966 when I was stationed at McChord AFB. I shot it a lot and it was a tack driver. I paid $70 for it.

I've always liked the 30 Luger cartridge. The last 30 I bought is an all matching Swiss P'00/'06 in excellent condition made in 1910. I paid $2,000 for it. I shot one full magazine through it to see how it shot and I hit an 8 inch steel plate at 25 yards all 8 shots. It will remain unfired again for as long as I own it.

I lived in Seattle for almost ten years in the 1970's. I'm sure I know that pawn shop you refer to. I can't remember the name, but it was very heavily into guns. They had knowledgeable people working here, too.

Jack, I wish I could recall the name but it's been too long. I later bought a 1916 DWM Luger from a pawn shop in Tacoma. Roughest Luger exterior wise that I ever owned but was 100% reliable and accurate. My wife and I left McChord on 1 June, 1968, for an assignment in KS.
