Getting a Luger Home...?

i agree with doug's post. break it down, check to be sure all the numbers match and look to be "untouched", check grips. check bore.


if you feel like you got a deal...STOP there and enjoy. do not over research or have other pro's check it out because odds are they will find something wrong with it. fact is, there are just too many lugers and too much time has passed by and they have passed through so many hands to expect to find an authentic, untouched, matching luger @ a great price. only if it came from the original owner would i trust it's authenticity, and then if it was a war used gun who knows if it might have been reworked or fixed during the war? we just don't know and that is a big loop hole current dealers will use for explaining restamped parts or unnumbered grips. i wouldn't even feel secure if it came from some of the "big time dealers". funny things happen when money gets involved. so, if it's matching and you feel good about the price...leave it be. that's just my 2 cents worth.
