1910 .30 Luger

Ray,

Good luck with your bids, mate!
Interesting leson about Aussie gun control - people around here has a completely different sight. Good to know! Actually, your laws are very similar to ours down here. Those bloody no-guns politicians are everywhere, aren't they?

Greetings from Brazil,

Douglas

Hello Doug , nice to hear from another fellow from the "southern Hemisphere" ! and on a similar line of lattitude !

You will be pleased to know that the results of the auction are in and I won the 181 lot -- a 1918 Erfurt, all matching including the Mag ! it only has about 15% of the original finish , but at least it is original, and Lugers with matching mags are unheard of out here. that was the main reason I bought it.

I had quite high bids in on the others but someone else was determined to take them home and out bid me by $100. on each.

Even more amazing , someone paid $3,600. for a snail drum mag !! hows that ! I thought about $1800. would be tops.

Doug , you will be even more pleased to know I also got a Mint Brazilian Mauser in 7x 57. about 1908 I think. Complete with matching numbered bayonet ! It is no. 26 on the auction site in the thread above.

Just have to wait for them to arrive now !

You did nice with the Mauser 1908! Great gun to own. It is almost identical to the Gewehr 98, except for the rear sight and caliber, of course. The Brazilian Army bought so many of them (around 400,000) that a good number remained unissued for decades and were sold to surplus dealers almost intact. Your seems to be the case. Now you just need to find a Brazilian Luger to match!

Please, post pictures of your Erfurt later, mate (as well as the Mauser M1908).

Congratulations!

Douglas.
