Nice George. Mine was Missy! And an S/42 1936 which was stolen from me then returned to me after 26 years. Still have the S/42 but Missy is looong gone!

My first Luger is a 1920 alphabet commercial .30 caliber. The gun has been fun shooting and a valuable learning tool. The pistol was reblued when I bought it. Subsequently I learned about the mechanics of the mechanism and rust bluing. I still enjoy taking it to the range.

Eric,
Mine was a 1917 DWM Artillery, all matching (ex. mag) with lots of nice finish and straw remaining. However, it is a shooter because someone ground the stock lug off! Your pics show the grip safety tight to the rear back-strap, is its spring broken?

BYF 41 in 1964 when I was 17.
Almost zero finish, near smooth bore and smooth worn wood grips. Never saw one so completely worn-even the ones we had in training group. $25 with holster. A bit high even then. |

Mine was a BYF 41 in 1957 when I was 17 (almost 18 ). It was mint with two matching magazines and a near new holster - $35. That gun is long gone but it was my first Luger.

My first is long gone. I was 16 and was with my buddy and his father at a garage sale. There was a re-blued 7.65 commercial for $75. I wanted it badly, so my friends father bought it for me. It was with me for a while but other interests came up. That was 43 years ago. I've since replaced it with a few others. :-)
That sure wouldn't happen today. Those times are gone. G2 |
