Humped K Date Lugers

Thor · 05-20-2004, 08:01 PM

My first Variation K Date is without the MAuser Hump and the third variation I am restoring for Frank Manders is without the hump, but I think most are made with the hump. What percentages do you think of these K date Lugers, all variations are made with and without the hump. Frank might be a good source here, he has almost all the Ks! lol

Hey Thor, I only wish I owned them all!!

My first and fourth variations have the "Hump", my second and third variations do not. The photos in Still's "Third Reich Lugers" show a Navy and fourth variation with the "Hump", the rest are straight up!

I can't even guess what the percentage would be.

This K I am working on for you Frank will be stunning when completed.

For those that don't know, the finish on this 3rd Variation has already been messed with, so we are just trying to bring it back to the original condition to preserve it!!

Yep Frank it was damaged and overbuffed in spots.
I would call it a dual tone as it came in, half the bluing was gone. Especially on the right side.
