Japanese Luger Story in AutoMag...

Pete Ebbink · 12-13-2006, 03:36 PM

BTW...another variety of a "Japanese" luger surfaced for sale about 1.5 years ago.

This one was reported to have a "Rising Sun" on the chamber (i.e. not the Mum...) and it was a WWII era Mauser. It appeared in a mail-out luger list at the Dodge City gun shop in Santa Barbara, CA.

Suspect a dumping ground for some consignment boosted wares...as 60-70 lugers appeared all at one time...many rare (and phony) in a shop not known to carry many lugers at any one time.

One of our LF members bought and returned 2 phony French lugers from this shop.
