Luger 1922 Help - Page 2

DavidJayUden · 08-17-2018, 11:34 PM

Although the bluing and straw colors are exceptional, at the end of the day this gun is a .30 commercial with a suffix issue. This is certainly not the find of the century and most likely is a totally non-military gun, regardless of the holster.
Also, I would doubt that any numbers (date) were ever over the chamber, but close-ups would help.
Although we still haven't been told what the asking price is, unless you want a .30 commercial Luger keep your money in your pocket.

Asking $2400.

Thanks. I'll take your advice and keep my money. By the way, they claim it's a 9mm. How can you tell?

It does look pretty but I would say $1800 is the top end of that type of pistol. For reference, I paid about $1200 for my .30 commercial all matching 5 digit SN (a less common variant of interwar commercial Lugers) with about 75% blue and 30% straw on it.

7th photo down shows the muzzle, and the metal around the bore looks thicker than a 9mm. The barrel OD is the same, but the bore size differs. But then it is hard to be sure from one photo.
But regardless, I'm not seeing a $2400 gun.

$2400 is way too much for the OP pistol.
The overstamped "K" relegates it to shooter status, and a corresponding price maybe 1/3 of the asking price, JMHO.

As a .30 Luger shooter, it's probably worth about $800 just as Don says...

From my perspective it doesn't look reblued, and the pictures I think are absolutely great.

I am a bit confused. Did the post war Lugers have an old style Trigger bar ?

Not when made; but in nearly 100 years most any part could have been changed.
