Here is another internet Luger for the group's consideration.

Thanks Doug, any more information available on this Luger, is it for sale or up for auction?

Thanks,
Lon

Supposedly being auctioned.

It is being floated on Facebook. I'm not sure if non-users can access it.

All police forces were "Himmler's" after 1937.
A post war chrome plated police luger- nothing "special". JMHO.

HerrKaiser · 08-07-2018, 03:10 PM

Doesn’t the chroming render it an immediate shooter grade?

DavidJayUden · 08-07-2018, 03:26 PM

Yes, normally it does, however this seller is saying that it was done by the Nazi's as a special presentation. Therein lies the rub...

The illustration and accompanying text are from the little black book "Lugers of Ralph Shattuck". Consider that as you may.

I should have said the write up is fluff and speculation = total baloney. JMHO.

A chrome plated, Landjageri police luger from the Weimar era presented to a "Nazi"; yeah, right.

The last comments I saw from the original poster read something like "joke's over", without further elaboration.

The German's never chromed their Lugers. Almost all marked presentation German pistols are the small .32 cal variety. A Luger was just another military "tool" and not really considered anything special, except to the American, Canadians & British solders who picked them up on the battlefields.

The chrome job on this pistol was done post war, most likely in the US.

I saw a nice all matching 1914 at an estate sale a while back. it went for $600. I quit at $500.
You used to see a lot of WW2 chromed stuff at gun shows in the 50s and 60s.
