Coming up on the next Hermann Historica auction in Germany :

Ron Smith · 10-11-2005, 02:02 PM

Now that is a classy looking artillery. I like that one.

John Sabato · 10-11-2005, 02:48 PM

I am not much on engraving,... but I sure like the grips.

mauro · 10-11-2005, 04:46 PM

Really interesting,
Thank you Pete.

No matter how high class the coiture you put on a tart, you still have a dressed up tart.

I can only afford pop tarts!!

Ron Smith · 10-11-2005, 08:35 PM

Hey, I was in the Navy. I'm a Tart kinda guy!

Pete Ebbink · 10-11-2005, 09:28 PM

This is from Tom A....who is known to have bought a M1903 Colt with pornographic (i.e. or should I say...artistic...) engravings all over it...

This gun was the highlight for quite a few fellows at the last SE NAPCA event in Chattanooga, TN...

Big Norm · 10-11-2005, 09:41 PM

Tom,
Dittos! Big Norm

Pete,
Yah, but it was done to a M1903 Colt and not an artillery Luger. But I would have to...err... examine the specimen first before I would chastise some classic art work.

Pete Ebbink · 10-11-2005, 09:57 PM

Hi Norm,

Contact Tom Beasley...he took many fine photos of Tom Armstrong's Colt...

Big Norm · 10-12-2005, 12:41 AM

Pete,
Tom Beasley??? Wasn't he an actor??? I thought he died. Maybe he has a telephoto lense on his camera and can take pictures from heaven. Good actor though.

Hello to all
I love lp08 but not such, so I would simply say it is a nice work!!

Pete Ebbink · 10-12-2005, 11:24 AM

Norm,

I sent you Tom B's e-mail address through regular email...

Navy · 10-12-2005, 04:38 PM

Pete et al,

The porno-pistol has provenance. It was King Farouk of Egypt's gun. And it's interest is in its previous ownership and the extent/quality of the erotica depicted.

Years ago during a visit to the Miami area, I saw a whole show case of "pimp" guns (nickel plated or engraved) at Tamiami Distributors, some with porno engraving. They said that these were good sellers to their Latino customers. TH

Heinz · 10-13-2005, 08:00 PM

Tom Heller, that was really cold!! :-)

Lugerdoc · 10-14-2005, 09:54 AM

Heinz, Sorry no ethnic slur intended. Just reporting the conversation. Perhaps the taste of Cuban refugees has changed since the 1960s. I also recall, if I wanted a locked in sale at the old LA "Great Western Show", I better know how to say "Trenta e Ochco Superba con Marka de Colt". TH

Heinz · 10-14-2005, 08:28 PM

No slur taken Tom, I was referring to Tom A's pricey prono pocket model being lumped with the "Saturday night specials"
