Interesting 1937 'K' SN

Geo99 · 10-29-2013, 04:19 PM

This is related to my previous thread "missing halos" - how about this one?

This is an unusual K date Luger with a rare MG stamp. It is very interesting to me. But is it original?

Frame is blued inside in some areas. You can see where blue has worn off on the rails, the feed ramp is blued.

The barrel extension rails were also blued and have worn off from a lot of use.

It has no halos on the barrel numbers.

What do thee think?

Looks correct to my untrained eye.
Very pricey...

It looks like an early refinish to me.

Based on the lack of halos and the blued toggle pin, I'd vote with Norme on this one. But having said that it is a way cool Luger.

I might be wrong but it looks too fresh for being a 1934 gun, and the lack of halos mainly on the barrel is a bit strange so I would say that it has been refurbished.

Is Legacy a good site to find K-date accessories such as magazines, holster, and or tools?
