Do You Own A Luger That You Will Never Sell

My 1920 Carbine. Debby payed Ralph the money, neither would tell me how much! She would kill me!

I would not sell any weapon, let alone a Luger. I guess, there,s no such thing as hoarding weapons.

My tiny Luger “collection”, 1.75 Luger ( whole+an upper +22lr kit) perhaps the start of a long journey.

I don’t think I will ever sell my first one, or my Lp.08 shooter, or my Brazilian. My other shooter isn’t an auto keeper, but I’ll need one with equivalent (or better) shooting functionality/reliability to want to do it. Especially if it is a nickel/chrome gun that I can fondle at will without worrying about finish marring.

YES. I will never sell any of my Lugers. They will all go to my son and daughter with the hope that they will be kept as family heirlooms for generations to come.
I am tempted to sell off some modern handguns though, Sigs and Glocks. Seems like a good time market wise to sell, as the gun shops seem to all be out of them. But like STEINBVG says, I don't want to sell any of my weapons.

Nope. It belonged to my father and it wears the grips he made for it. It will go to my youngest sister who's a gun enthusiast.

Yes, it's my DWM 1910. It will go to my son one day.

Yup ... my 1914 Erfurt Artillery and my CZ TSO are NEVER for sale in particular.

In reality NONE of my guns are for sale ... if I suddenly need $$$ there is other stuff I can sell.

cirelaw · 03-20-2021, 07:58 PM

Great!

I own many P 08, but I would never sell my "Reichsgendarmerie"

Never say never, but my #1 Norinco luger will probably be the last to go. Fond memories of a good friend who is no longer around and of a relationship that sadly ended.

It was also the last pistol I photographed, lying flat on the floor of a gun shop, before our first book went to the printer's.

I was also responsible for the rediscovery of the pistol after many years of obscurity, even the importer had forgotten they owned it.

Never thought I would sell my prime Luger's but I sold everything Luger and Luger related recently. Kept a P38 though.

Neil Young · 04-21-2021, 10:55 PM

I don't plan to sell any of my Lugers.

cirelaw · 04-21-2021, 11:01 PM

Don't sell now!! Save them for a rainy day!!!

Doubs · 04-22-2021, 12:42 AM

Unless something unforeseen should happen, I won't sell any of the Lugers I own.

Major Tom · 04-22-2021, 07:24 AM

My very first P08, a 1920 alphabet, will go to my Grandson. I have sold other P08.s tho.

mrerick · 04-22-2021, 09:48 AM

I have made a few of my Lugers available to friends that were in need of one for their collection, or "just to own" one.

in general, I don't sell them. I probably will hold on to my first one longest... A plain and simple 1923 DWM Alphabet Commercial that got me started in this...

m1903a3 · 04-22-2021, 05:37 PM

All of them.

Norme · 04-22-2021, 06:02 PM

My first gun was a Radom that I bought from a friend in high school. Interestingly, my family (on my father's side, originated in Radom (Radomsk in Polish), I guess it was a sign. Unfortunately I no longer have it, my mother made me get rid of it.

I only own three Lugers. Don't plan to sell any but I would always keep the first one. It's a DWM with a chamber date of 1910. My son will have them in the end.

Lock and Load!

jeb111 · 04-24-2021, 07:51 AM

I would hope I never HAVE to sell any of my Lugers or any of my firearms for that matter. All my firearms are well documented so that if anything happens to me my wife can sell them and get maximum value.
