Thor's K Date Luger

Thor · 08-19-2003, 11:44 PM

Bought this first variation K date last year around April and just got around to finishing it. This is my Luger for my collection and I was simply too busy to have much time to devote to it. Probably take it to this weekends gun show in Albuquerque to show a few of the local Luger folks and dealers. I am in hopes that Bob Adams will see it. It turned out very nice and now I have one of my hardest variations for my personal collection. This project is very satisfying.

I say, that is rather attractive...even if it is post 1918. Well done Ted, and congratulations.

Greg · 08-21-2003, 04:22 PM

Ted,

Your 'K' date is a beauty. Wish I could see it in person!

Greg

Thor · 08-22-2003, 01:24 AM

Hey Greg, if you make it to WOL next year, you probably will see it and my Baby Luger! Thanks for the kind words!

Frank · 08-22-2003, 01:56 AM

Geeze Thor, it looks just like mine!!!

Great job, AGAIN!!!

Dok · 08-22-2003, 02:21 PM

Thor · 08-22-2003, 02:32 PM

Dok and I are working out the size and details of the top of the case he is making for this K date. I have some unique ideas that will really set it off. Dok offers a service that allows the client to specify what he wants on the top, then it can be engraved to really set it off. The first case I viewed in person was one of Luke's that Dok had an Imperial German Eagle on it...fabulous. DWMS, S/42s, Mauser Banner, Crests of various countries, Ornate Monograms, the possiblities are there. What a nice place to display these beautiful Lugers.

Dok · 08-22-2003, 04:40 PM

Thank you sir for those kind words, but my workmanship pales in comparison to yours. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you!!! :-D

Luke · 08-22-2003, 05:22 PM

Hi Dok -

No argument about Thor's talents. A++++++

But, don't take anything away from yourself; I can't tell you how many compliments I have received on the beautiful Imperial case you made for me. I usually just tell folks that I made it.

JUST KIDDING

Hope all is well with you.

Regards,
Luke

Thor · 08-22-2003, 09:01 PM

Lets see, I depend on Dok for those custom cases, Tom Heller for parts, GT for woodened magazine bottoms, Jerry Burnery for awesome holsters and leather work, Hugh Clark for grip work (not to mention them awesome baby Lugers),and I rely heavily on Jan Still's books and also Costanzo's proof book. Heck, you guys are a great help in making my work look WAY better!!!! BIG THANKS to all of you ESPECIALLY JOHN DUNKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!guys!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[sleep]" title="" src="graemlins/sleep.gif" />

Hey Ted. With all of these guys working for you, what do you do?

Just kidding, my 1915 DWM that I bought from you is a real beauty. Good work.
