Picked up a new Luger today, so I have to show it off. After accumulating several shooter/project guns, I finally bought one which I am going to consider strictly a collector piece--its the first Luger I've managed to buy which has all original finish.

Its an S/42, 1936 chamber date, vet bringback (no papers). It retains quite a bit of blue, I wouldn't begin to try to estimate a percentage, and some rust spots which have been carded off pretty harshly. Although you can't tell from the scans, the strawed parts retain at least a trace of straw.

The grips...well, they're unfortunate, but at least that can be remedied. At least they give the gun evidence of being owned--sometimes it seem like high-dollar, pristine collector guns have always existed in a realm outside of human interaction.
