Mauser Parabellum pistols

Joe in Colorado · 12-15-2020, 09:20 PM

I became interested in collecting Mauser Parabellums, aka Interarms Lugers about five years ago.

I just took delivery of a Mauser Parabellum from Charlie Justmann at Checkpoint Charlies in Wisconsin---for several reasons I would like to mention to any interested collectors that he has 4 other Mauser Parabellums for sale.

Unlike auction sales, Charlie has named prices-which I personally think are very fair-he also has an inspection period.

He treated me very well and I am happy to recommend him.

Not so happy to say, if I am correct, these Lugers, along with my purchases came from the collection of an advanced collector who recently passed away, the late Mr. Neil Kurtz.

Unlike the random gun on GB, these have known provenance and, for example, the packaging remains in excellent condition.

As of this time, Charlie has 3x (!) P-08s with 6" barrels and-please confirm-complete matching package and accessory sets, $1695 each.

Also, for $1495, another of the same but with "73" Euro proof, box does not match but still excellent.

He has other Lugers and stuff too, cheers, Joe

Yes, Charlie Justman is one of the good guys.

CJ is a good friend of mine. I've known him for over 21 years now. He lives about 35 minutes from me, so we visit often.

Probably the best collector gun dealer you'll ever find. (maybe I'm bit biased though?

Matt Neil Kurtz had a wonderful collection. The rarest ones are being sold by Simpson Ltd., who also did a recent series of videos on them.

Mauro and myself were able to certify most of them. Many have provenance that go back to the 1970s and his excellent relationship with the Mauser staff and management.
