Artillery luger auction

[raygun]

Well the artillery rig I bought at auction [sight unseen] arrived at my local
dealers on friday . Had a pretty good look at it but haven't as yet gone over it with a fine tooth comb . I am very pleased with the gun , on initial inspection it appears to be in excellent all original condition with all matching numbers . I thought being a 1918 the quality of finish may have dropped off , but no sign of it .

The stock and holster are very good but don't appear to match the gun .
there is no number stamped on the stock heel . there is a number stamped on the wood near the heel but it doesn't match the serial on the gun .

I also found the date 1915 stamped on the inside flap of the holster .
There is quite a bit of writing inside the flap and I will make a detailed study of it shortly . At least it has the cleaning rod and screwdriver tool included .

It has two mags , one with a wooden base , cracked and broken unfortunately , guess I can glue it back together !?

The other is blue with an alloy base , obviously much later and does not want to go all the way into the gun , gets very tight before going all the way home !

Any way I'm pretty happy and it makes a good start. Just have to drag my darling daughter and her $1800. camera down to the gun shop to get some good photos --- and then start on the paperwork .
