1914 Artillery Luger Missing Rear Sight?

Edward Tinker · 11-18-2006, 10:37 PM

welcome to the forum. I have never heard Armistice luger, I am assuming he means one that was modified after the war. Usuaully this meant cutting the barrel to 4 inches. Then after WW1 they sold a lot to the USA, sometimes modifying them, sometimes just selling as is.

In the condition you mention, I would not pay over $700-$800 for it, as it has been modified too much to be a collectable to me....

You can pick up a reasonable artillery for $2500 that still has a rear sight and correct markings.
