List of rare Lugers

I didn't know the 1921 5-digit police lugers were that rare. I saw the photo of one in a Jan Still book and estimated around 1000 manufactured.


I actually had the chance to buy one from the 1995 Russian imports that was a few property numbers off the one in Still's book. Other collectors seemed uninterested in it when I asked if anyone wanted to rescue it from being sent to its fate. I couldn't afford it as I had purchased two G dates and a 1914 Erfurt from the batch. It had a mismatched takedown lever or other small part and was dip blued. Because no one seemed interested in it despite it being in strong condition (no pitting), it ended up being one of the engraved and gold-iron cross lugers sold by that outfit in Mechanicsville Virginia back around 1997-98. Wish I had bought it before it was "processed" (the term used by the company for buffing and refinishing these).


Oh well.
