How could anyone think that this is real?

Scott,

There ya go again! Being cynical. It could happen...

I think that's the one that Hermann wore with his tutu, when he was on his creampuff forays.

This seller goes by the outfit name of "Investment Arms" out of KY State.

The only investment-upside that coud possibly happen here is if the seller turns this $ 600 luger into a tidy profit by selling it to an idiot with more money than sense

Ron Smith · 07-16-2006, 11:33 PM

Ed's MEAN!!!! We cain't look at neked girls er nuthin'.....

thegundude · 07-17-2006, 06:16 PM

Can anyone spot me the 3K for that Loogar? I promise I'll pay'em back as soon as I can sell it for double that and make a profit...

pvluger · 07-18-2006, 12:08 AM

I like how as soon as something has some gold on it it must have belong to Goering.

Pete,

That's the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I've many friends and kin there (mostly in the Lexington area). Personally, I've not found more occasion for questioning the voracity of Kentuckians than I have for Hoosiers or my fellow Ohioans. I believe one will find that people from all three areas will delight and disappoint in approximately equal proportions in relation to the general population of humanity. Which incidentally is probably one of the reasons why the Creator in His infinite Wisdom gave us dogs.

After you buy the gold plated Luger, the next thing your collection needs is this SS Death's Head '37....
a bit expensive, but maybe it might have been Otto Skorzeny's own personal sidearm.

Hey if peeps can believe "pro" wrestling is real then they will swallow this too.

HerbZ · 09-15-2006, 08:06 PM

How's this for a Luger with provenance; a 1920s DWM Commercial 9 mm, once owned by Floyd Thursby. It has to be purchased as a pair with Thursby's other pistol, a Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver. This is one of the rare 8 shot Fosbery automatic revolvers chambered in .38 Colt. (Detective Samuel Spade was confused about the calibre of this pistol being .455 Webley. The .455 Webley-Fosbery automatic revolvers were all six shooters.)

The current Pope was in the German army during WWII. I am waiting for someone to advertise that they are selling the Popes old Luger!!!!

shadow · 09-15-2006, 10:24 PM

Here is a 1939 photo of Pope John Paul II "The Great" presenting his rifle. Wonder what that rifle would be worth today if you could prove it was his???

A 19-year-old Karol Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul II (centre), is seen holding a rifle while performing 'present arms' in this July 1939 photo. Two months before the outbreak of the second world war, he attended a military training camp in western Ukraine, then eastern Poland.

Hello to all! These plated guns that show up from time to time are a sad, sad, deal.. If you can get by the outragous stories, and take the gun and the nickel job on it's own merit, you'd see that it is not just a case of nickel plating ... but an extremely poor case of nickel plating!!... As most of them are overbuffed, and poorly preped for any type of finish much less unforgiving bright nickel... if they would square up the edges, use the correct grit, and run their prep correctly, and toned down the plating, there would be some striking results... It's not the guns, or the plating...it's the idiot behind the wheel!

Best to all, til....lat'r...GT

BTW, The pope just kicked off the most recent crusade... had to happen sometime..

Alx · 10-02-2006, 11:58 PM

I have the Luger that Manfred Richtoffen flew with, and was taken off him after the crash by an infantryman who traded it for a pack of cigarettes and a dozen eggs, to a soldier who was bringing it home when his ship returning was torpedoed by a sub, and died in the lifeboat but my father's uncle on his half-sister's side nabbed it and pawned it but I found the ticket and ......

ratdog · 10-03-2006, 05:40 AM

You guys are ranting like a bunch of old women!!!! The ad says nothing about it being orig or owner specific, merely a gold and nickel plated Luger!!!! Does the terminology HAVE to point out that it was done post-war, I don't get where all this BS from you guys is coming from............................... Nothing misleading in the ad to me, but then I know nothing about Lugers, so I guess as soon as a Luger comes up for sale that is not orig this forum automatically assumes the seller is conning people by NOT saying its been reworked. Just trying to understand........................B
