Vickers Luger

02-08-2001, 10:58 AM

Gentlemen,

I have one of the Dutch Vickers Lugers. I have owned

it about twenty years and paid 500.00 for it. It has

things wrong with it, the grip safety has been removed,

the grips are not original, the side plate doesn't match,

the bore is so-so and there is a crack in the breechblock,

oh yeah, I think someone has applied some cold blue. Overall I would say there is about 70 percent finish left but no pitting. Anyway, I have never seen another one for sale and am thinking of putting it up for sale. Would anyone

care to guess what a reasonable price to ask for this

"diamond in the rough" would be.

Thanks,

Mc

Your Dutch Vickers Luger sounds very close to one I just looked at in a local gunshop (the one I saw was a military Dutch Luger (1929 production) - but not a Vickers). He was asking, I believe, $795 *without any sideplate* - and it was a mis-match (wrong barrel/.30 Luger caliber).. However - his did have a grip safety and there was no crack in the breechblock.. Other then that, they sound in similiar in condition.. Just a datapoint - and I don't know how quickly he expects to sell this piece..??
