A Navy Luger from the Belgique Resistance

Ron, based on the email from the current owner, and I believe a descendent of the original resistance member, I believe the sole intent for "restoration" is simple to make the gun completely functional, and not an attempt to deceive anyone... This gun would be pretty useless in it's current condition EXCEPT to an undercover resistance movement, and I don't think they are currently very active

I hope they can get it repaired so they can use the sights... The owner initally asked if the gun could be imported into the USA for repairs and then returned to Europe, and my suggestion was to avoid that kind of customs hassle by doing it over there. I figured that Herb Werle, or Hakan Spuhr or KTS could assist them without damaging the receiver, but the availability of the proper height front sight base on a 6 inch barrel may be a problem to find even in Europe.
