New Toy

Here are some photos of my new toy - 1914 Erfurt 100 mm Luger. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks again for the help

Further information on the Luger in the above post. All parts have matching serial numbers except for the magazine and everything is proofed, including the grip screws. It probably has not been shot or extensively handled since my uncle got it WWII. Again comments would be appreciated. Bluing and strawing look pretty good to me except for some pitting on the takedown plate

Thanks

Very nice condition considering it's history and age.
Those aren't pits, they're (battle scars)

Gives it character.

Pacman, congratulations on your authentic (not mongralized) 1914 Erfurt P.08. I don't know what you mean by "100mm" but it is "9mm". As you no doubt are aware, this is an example of the rarest (7000 made according to Jan Still) production Erfurt lugers. As a coincidence, I obtained one of my two 1914's in Houston. Maybe there is a resevoir of these rarities in the fair city of Houston!

Hi Doc, I think Pacman was referring to the barrel length (100mm).

Frank is correct. The barrel lengh is 4" - approximately 100 mm. Thanks for the feedback
