Unusual 10" artillery luger

Duane,

I'm suggesting that this gun probably started out as a standard 3 3/4" barrel Luger.

Ed, and Howard,

My understanding--and I will be glad for information which educates me otherwise--is that the US dealer ads generally represent modifications done by the dealers themselves in the US, from parts which were manufactured and exported from Germany--hence the GERMANY stamps on otherwise unmarked and unnumbered long barrels mounted into standard Lugers here.

Ray's gun is unusual by the presence of the c/N German commercial proof on the barrel, indicating that the gun was completed and proofed in Germany.
