I can always expect great answers and replys from you all. I am also happy to know that it's color is original. I ended up trading a pistol worth about 450$, and 100 bucks for it. It hangs on my collectors rack with my 42 Garand and my 45 m44. To bad this old gal wasn't a kriegsmarine! Then I would have a kriegsmarine luger with rifle. Still is an amazing piece of history, and in my opinion a fine example of war time manufacturing even in 44 with the allies fast approaching the enemy industries still managed to pump out very nice rifles. No short cuts in qaulity (that I can see) like the Russians and Japanese who cut many corners to add a weapon. I am sure the Germans at the time had there "last ditch" weapon I would love to see one. All german weapons from that era I've held, and seen have all been good makes of quality.
