Name of a good dealer

Hello, I'm new on the forum. I would like to buy an artillery, from a reputable dealer. Does any suggestions?
Thanks

I have a few for sale. What part of Virginia are you in?

Antonio welcome to the forum!

George usually has some pretty good stuff for sale (although not a dealer), and you just caught him where he said he was going to sell some artillery's!

vesuvio,

George, (Keoki to the cognocenti) is a straight up guy; he stands behind everything he sells. I have had numerous deals with him and reccomend him without reservation.

Simpsons has a solid, excellent reputation as a dealer. I have purchased several and would do so again.

Doug Smith and Ken Clark of FGS out of Ohio are also excellent to deal with.

Hello Antonio,
Welcome to the Luger Forum. I guess you are Italian (Antonio + Vesuvio = Napoli). I am Italian and I love the arty as well...

Forgot to mention...member Goerge Anderson is one of the nicest, honest private fellows that will sell you an honest LP-08...the dealers I mentioned above are great, but their prices are usually higher that a deal between collectors.

...and I bounce between Winchester, McLean...and Washington DC depending on the time of day, and the day of the week... I also can provide references for George Anderson... whatever he sells you from his collection will be righteous...

Thank you to you all.

Mauro, good observation.

Anderson's a Bum! I wouldn't trust him...

I sent George 4 of my most cherished Lugers to sell at the Chantilly show for me. Unfortunately or I should say fortunately, none of them sold. I later regretted even trying to sell them and was happy to have gotten them back.

Geo sent them back to me and all it cost me was shipping. I would trust Geo with anything that I own. (short of my wife)
