People have these guns in collection must be a forum member?

cirelaw · 11-29-2014, 07:45 PM

Its probobly from more than one collection and still out there~My Biggest Wish is a 1902 Cartridge Counter~~~

alvin · 11-29-2014, 08:53 PM

I bet they are from a single collection.

I love that 1936 S/42. Other pieces should go to dedicated Luger collectors. S/42 is more generic fitting broad range of collectors regardless of the domain..

alvin · 11-29-2014, 09:09 PM

But the more I look at this S/42 picture, the more I feel it's like an auction house picture. Is this in auction? if so, which one?

cirelaw · 11-29-2014, 09:15 PM

I was informed that all the lugers are from a single owner other than from the person put them together and posted~ I would like to be in his will~ Eric

Alvin,
The author of the post says it's his friend's collection. Great pics. The poster also lives in Arizona, if that is a clue. The post is a couple of years old, but you could join and PM that member, and perhaps get an answer to your question.

Ron Wood · 11-29-2014, 09:40 PM

They are my guns and John is a friend of very long acquaintance (I can't say "old friend" because he is the same age as me!)

cirelaw · 11-29-2014, 09:47 PM

I'm so glad they are yours! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL~~~How many years have you been collecting and what was your first luger?

alvin · 11-29-2014, 09:52 PM

Let me take a guess...

Arizona... who's in AZ... Eric is in Florida, and he is dreaming the CC, cannot be him. You're in NY. Ed's in .. I forgot where, but definitely not AZ, and he collects Simson... Postino, no, he only plays gunsmith... If this is Ron's guns, that fit, but he's in New Mexico...Jerry? he's in Arizona... these are frequent posters ... or, if from a infrequent poster, then I cannot guess

Ron, super nice collection! Relocated?

Arizona is right next to New Mexico (John and I both used to live in El Paso, TX)

Ron:
Some very nice iron, indeed.
Is there any complications with the radium sights? I assume it has a limited shelf life? Are they still "hot"?

They are probably still hot but harmless. They emit alpha particles, so unless you open the glass vials that contain the radium and swallow the contents, no sweat. The phosphorescent material that glowed when excited by the alpha particles is long depleted, so the sights do not glow in the dark any more.

I *LOVE* that Borchardt!

Ron, words fail me! The .45 acp is beyond the pale. Bill
