Mitchell's Lugers

Heydrich · 12-19-2003, 05:41 PM

This company never ceases to amaze me. I wonder if they will get any takers for a $15,000 re-blued Artillery Luger, in a red velvet case, with a repo Blue Max medallion thrown in. And isn’t that a WW2 era aluminum bottomed magazine they got on the arty? And I could have sworn the Blue Max medal was reserved for the air corps, not the artillery branch. Go fig.

Presentation Lugers

If you check out his photo gallery you will find a presentation box that is engraved with the words Manufactured during World War II and the bottom left hand corner says:

Erfurt 1938

...

you learn somethin' every day... and here I thought that the Erfurt Arsenal stopped making Lugers after WW1 !!! <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> This outfit has quite a sense of humor! Just look at the prices for reworked and buffed pistols!
