Came across a M1900 Swiss...

pisto · 01-02-2005, 09:16 AM

Hello,

recently I came across a M 1900, 4th variaton with matching holster - causing some headache to me and my purse - but I was forced to acquire!
Some light pitts on the muzzle right side - but easy to remove.
Want to introduce it to you here!

Magnificent 1900 Swiss, Roland. I can understand how this gave your purse a headache! I have not seen one under $5K Amercan in this condition. Best of luck and I'm sure your headache will pass in due time! Pete Ebbink should have a little to say about this wondeful specimen.

Hi Roland and Doc,

The only thing I can see that might improve this very nice rig is that it be in my collection...!!!

Roland, you have done well on this purchase

Pete...

Thanks Doc and Pete, I do have some fun with that piece. It is not the very earlyest but it is a really nice condition.
Pete, thanks for posting that pics for me!

here is the Holster stamp and the top view of that Luger (unfortunatedly in front of another background)

Now that's my kind of Luger!!! It may not be the earliest, but it is pretty darn close to the start of production. Good going Sir! I would really love to find an '04 or earlier holster. I currently have an '09, so I envy you yours. Thank you for posting your great rig.

Take two aspirins and enjoy it! That's what I like to see to start off the New Year 2005!

Congratulations on the very fine acquisition. I appreciate the set you have built.

Cheers,
Albert

Albert, thanks for the advice - now because of your all advanced collectors feedback and may be the aspirin,
my pain is turning down a bit!
I forgot to say, the magazine in the gun is my own repro again. I still search for a really nice one and be shure I will come by some day!
