Steve Anderson's Luger...

drbuster · 10-06-2005, 08:19 PM

This Luger looks to me to be a mish-mash of parts. It has what looks like an early 1906 American Eagle frame (Germany stamped on front, flaming bomb proof in well), a commercial Swiss receiver and commercial barrel, and an un-numbered grip safety. It has a suffix on the front of the frame that looks like an "i", but I cant make out the dot on top. We all know about the post WW1 "i" series. It included DWM/Krieghoffs, all types of various Swiss commercials, and apparently just piece guns. I doubt that this Luger went to Switzerland as the grips and finish are too worn to be typical of those proud gun owners.
