Luger Identification Help—1925 9" Barrel

lfid · 06-22-2013, 03:50 PM

RJ,
suggest you take the upper off and look for serials on underside of the dwm toggle link, the side of the breechblock, the recoil lug on underside of the slide near barrel mount and also underside edge of the sideplate and the takedown lever - these would be unmarked or #67 if original 192x commercial

your luger looks very tight mechanically and so appears not fired much in its lifetime
and looks like excellent reblue was not overzealous

is the inside of barrel bright shiny with sharp edge rifling ? ie like new ? and chamber also sharp and clean ?

can you add a picture of the rear sight on barrel from the top down view ?

it looks like nice reblued salt blue probably when barrel was installed - interesting that stoeger might still have sold parts built lugers in 1952 - did prior owner say gun purchased directly from stoeger ?

added info will help identify value - Im thinking $1500 as I like the unusual / custom lugers

suggest you offer for sale here on the forum if you decide to sell

thanks for sharing !
Bill
