Another Odd Weimar Navy Luger

This one once was a 1917 Navy (Chamber Top and side) with a shorter replaced barrel C/N. It is all matching. It is not mine, I wish! I may have other pics. I was looking at it for a while, but I thought that the price was too high. I did not have anything else to compare with since it was the first time that I have actually seen one (other than books). I just want to share and hear your thoughts. Thanks, Tony <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> |

Hi Tony,
An interesting Weimar conversion. This gun, from what I can see, is legit. I'd be proud to look at more of it and possibly add it to my collection assuming internals were up to snuff. If I may ask, what was the asking price? Tom A. |

The asking price was $3600. I liked it myself, but the $$ was too high for me. Everything looked right inside and out. I think that the grips were right, but I dont think that they were marked. Also, I think that the witness mark were not perfectly aligned if I remember correctly. I have included more pics.

Thanks, Tony |

Tony,
That gun is priced about $15-1600 too high. The Texan will die with that gun before he moves it at almost double its market value. Tom A. |

IMHO...and I am just guessing...but the side plate does not seem to match the gun. I understood only the early 1900 models have a side plate that has its upper, left hand corner (closest to the muzzle end..) very sharp and squarish...around 1906 and later, the typical upper, left hand corner is filed with a radius...
Shouldn't this one have the more rounded, cornered side plate...? (Self-edited 1-5-04 : After Tony S. posted the follow-up photos, I got the answer to my concern...firt photo appeared to show something that is not there...) Regards, Pete... |

Tom,
I agree with you as far as the price. Actually, I was guessing a value of about $1700 or so. Tony |

Tony,
I was being "generous" in my evaluation...I have purchased similar guns for $1500 within past 2 years. Tom A |
