Army Test Luger (what to do?)

nukem556 · 06-12-2011, 09:23 PM

I'm not a purist about restoration....I own around 50 firearms, some which I've had over 30 years... all have been responsibly maintained....when you see one such as this, whose condition is due to abuse and neglect, not wartime duty (it's not a veteran of the Eastern Front), I don't see the issue in restoring it.

i appreciate the replies (won't be able log on again till maybe friday).

my guns are working guns, i don't abuse them , but use them. if i were wealthy and had a nice case i wouldn't mind being a collector

i asked the elderly gentleman again if he knew more about the luger, but he didn't, just said his father left it to him

Mr. Wood i sent you email through the site about the ser#

I wouldn't restore it either, but I would send it to Charles Danner to preserve it.

There is no place for a toggle latch that I can see.I do not think
the lower reciver is right for this gun. That is the way it looks
to me.
Thanks George

latch on the lower receiver.
