Here is the other Luger I just acquired...
It looks like a nice, honest 1939 Code 42 WW II era P.08. If anyone wants to see any other views, just ask....

Ask and ye shall receive... Boy,I never state finish in percentage. As soon as I say a particular gun is, say 91%, someone will come back with, "I think it is 90%".... So I post good photos and everyone can make up their own mind!
Actually, this old P.08 shows mostly honest holster wear.....

However I suddenly find myself with 4 Nazi proof Hi Powers, 2 Lugers and other assorted goodies! You know that the most dangerous thing in the world is a sailor with money in his dungarees and time on his hands!!!! I have a rotating display with various military handguns...

John,
I'm sure you've been asked this before, but I don't recall the answer, so please forgive, but what sort of lighting do you use?
