First Luger, 1917 Erfurt

CW77 · 02-03-2017, 03:39 PM

Hello, I recently got my very first Luger, been wanting one my whole life, so when I saw this at a local pawn shop, i had to get it. It's also the first one I've ever seen ,outside a overpriced gun show. I know I need to post some pics,and I have been trying,but when i hit the upload button, it says page not found,so I don't know what to do. But as far as the Luger,all the numbers match except for the magazine, the finish is mostly gone,but I like it. Can't wait to learn more about it.

Congrats, Chris!

There is a sticky about uploading pics somewhere in the new collectors' section, I believe.

CW77 · 02-03-2017, 08:58 PM

I will look that up, thank you!

My first Luger was a 1917 Erfurt, with holster, takedown tool and two mags...$140.00. Been looking for another lately. Love to see pix of yours.

Well I have been trying to upload the pics, I followed the instructions in the FAQs, but when i hit the upload button, it says page not found. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks.

Where are you trying to upload from? If it is from your computer you have to first select "Choose File" and when the window pops up you have to navigate to the image file location on your computer and click on the image file which will then show up next to the "Choose File" icon. After you have done the "Choose File" operation for each image you want to upload then click on the "Upload" icon. The list of images will show up in the "Attach Files/Manage Attachments" window. Then click on "Submit Reply".

If you are uploading images from some other location than your computer then you have to navigate to that site location and image when you do "Choose File". But it is really best to upload the images from your computer.

CW77 · 02-07-2017, 12:35 PM

I'm trying from my phone, its my only computer,haha. I'm scrolling down to the additional options, then manage attachments, then clicking on the pics I want to upload, then when I finish with the pics, I hit the upload button, and it says error, page not found.

CW77 · 02-14-2017, 09:19 AM

I'm still trying to upload the pictures, but it still keeps saying Error, page not found. Ive followed the instructions on how to upload pics,but get that message every time I hit the upload button. Don't know what else to do.

cirelaw · 02-14-2017, 09:24 AM

First, Can you download your pictures on your phone or camera to you computer under my pictures?

He stated in a post above that his phone is his only computer. Perhaps he could down load the photos on someone else's computer and go that route.
