A triple view of a mid 1930's Mauser banner Turkish Police luger tragically reduced to shooter status by heavy buffing and re-blueing! About 1000 of these were sent to Turkey in the pre-WW2 period but no one knows for certain how many were built as August Weiss, when questioned near the end of his life, couldn't even recall ANY Turkish contract lugers! Geoff Sturgess has much to say and show about the Turkish contract pistol in Pistole Parabellum, page 623ff. Makes for good reading. We eagerly await further information on this luger.
