Portland, Oregon gun show

[Dwight Gruber]

The Portland gun show this weekend has quite a number of Lugers.

Bill Knapp has a table this show, I didn't get a chance to do a detailed list (will try to do that tomorrow), but he has more than a dozen including a really nice 1906AE and the most fantastic 1917 LP-08 with a real matching mag I have ever seen (at a correspondingly fantastic price); some Imperial and some Third Reich pistols; a 12-inch barrel Commercial Artillery based on a 1917 Erfurt, with a really interesting Artillery holster which has been extended for the barrel.

On another table there is a pretty nice 1937 S/42 (strawed variation) with a "matching" mag, holster, and tool for $2395; also a 1900 AE which I believe is restored, for over $5k.

There is also a Vopo based on a 1918 frame and an S/42 toggle train, poorly reblued, expensive for a Luger to shoot at $795 but my guess is that by Sunday he will take a lower offer.
