You should get more pictures, they have not shown you the right side of the gun, only the left. There appears to be surface water damage, right now you have no idea what your buying--it could be ugly on the other side--got to have more pictures.

Thanks for your advice.

Picture 1 as sent was upside down - so I flipped it before posting...

I've already asked for more pictures - higher resolution, close from both sides, close from above to see brand and data, magazine photos, asked about rifling and if they work overall or the mechanism is broken.

Jorge,
Yes, a Brazilian contract Luger has the longer barrel and grip safety. If the gun you are considering has a small B inside a circle on the left side of the receiver, it is a Brazilian.

Thanks for the info. BTW, nice looking photo!

Seller says these guns are registered with the Brazilian military (otherwise I wouldn't be considering them - one may be arrested for owning an unregistered weapon), but I will double check the Brazilian contract.
