My lugers new Display case

Here are some pics of my all matching s42 in its new home. Also got one for my Grandfathers 1911a1 he carried through Europe and in the Buldge. A former Marine made them along with the grips currently on the 1911. I love the way they turned out. He does awesome work at a reasonable price. I can give you his contact info if anyone is interested. He can also do them in custom sizes, shapes, wood, ect.

Thanks, it is. I think it is a 1943? I will have to check since I forgot.

Nice displays and examples.

Pick up a set of the original GI plastic grips for the 1911. They are cheap and they just look right on this historic pistol.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Ajruger · 02-26-2013, 06:57 PM

I still have the original grips. Those are for a test fit. My friend has been doing woodwork for awhile now. Bowls, pens/pencils, cutting boards, humidors, frames, ect. I got him to make the box for the 1911. After it was done I told him he should start making display cases, grips, and other firearm related stuff. So now I am trying to get him some business. Here is another pair of grips he made.

Thanks again

I can put up some better pictures if there is any interest.
