Untouched LP?

Balder · 02-25-2017, 05:29 AM

Gentlemen,

This gun is for sale here in Norway, from a gunsmith's estate. In some of the pictures (especially #7) parts of the pistol look reblued. Or is the the lighting/angle? Not sure about the shoulder stock either. Thoughts, anyone?

Hi Balder,
I don't see any signs in the photos provided that the gun has been refinished. The holster looks OK but I'm suspicious of the attaching leather, I'd like to see clearer photos of the stock boot. The stock should have a large crown/S stamp on it's left side which is not visible in the photos. The cleaning rod is reproduction.
Regards, Norm

Nice and rare DWM lange dated 1914 sn 711
Repro staps on the wood for me , same for the closure holster

Better grab it, there were very few 1914 DWM Artilleries made, I can't be absolutely sure from the pictures that is correct. I can't read the date very well and would need a picture of the right chamber and the front of frame and bottom of barrel to make me happy.

How much is 22,000 in $?

But it is not "un-touched", as it is well worn!

A Krone is about 12 cents, so about $2640.
