"Sneak" Luger

[Dwight Gruber]

There is no such thing as a sneak Luger.

It appears that there is no DWM on the toggle. The gun has a sear safety. The marks on the right are those to be expected on an alphabet DWM/29DWM police Luger. I tried to extract a serial number suffix, it was nearly impossible but it might be u, which would be proper on a gun like this.

I agree that the grips look good.

From the photos, I would not want to assume that it has been reblued.

I think this gun might be a "sleeper." If you can get it for a shooter price, $800 or less, it is probably a good deal. IT might have a story to tell, and it might be worth more, depending.

Will they hold it for you until you can get there to examine it? Will they take other pictures for you?

Please let us know the outcome of this.

I truly appreciate the input. The shop is holding this gun for me until I am able to inspect it in person, and from the photos, the pistol looks pretty good. I was not wanting a Russian capture or one in cosmetically terrible condition, and from what I can see this one appears to be in good shape. As with my other collectibles (Pythons, FAL's, HiPowers) I have to start somewhere. Unless something unexpected surfaces, I will most likely be bringing this one home.
