I ran into this guy as he was wandering around the Cedar Rapids show trying to sell a boosted Luger. Somebody else at the show told me he was noted for selling boosted or faked Lugers. I don't remember for sure where he was operating out of, but it may have been the Cedar rapids area.

I have two pretty M1920's. One appears to be salt blued with the strawed parts strawed and is in just about mint condition (including bore and grips) aside from questions of refinishing. It has a history and if refinsihed it was done a long time ago. The strawing is quite light in color.

The second appears to be salt blued including the strawed parts. I have no history for it, so if refinished it could have been done at any time. It has two small notches in the trigger guard (under the bluing) that look like the old time western movie bad guy's notches in the revolver grip. The bore is poor, but not worn, appears as if someone put it away with corrosive primer gunk in it. Otherwise, the pistol looks extremely clean and crispy.

Both are chambered for the 7.65 mm cartridge.
