DWM Luger too? - Page 2

Rook · 12-22-2002, 10:19 PM

I'm now thinking that my Luger with 120mm barrel is fine, I'll check this in the morning, the problem is likely that someone at the head office in charge of firearms registration assumed my Luger had the short barrel common to (most?) other Lugers.

So, am I to understand that my Luger is a one of a run of 1000 Lugers?

1000 is a fair approximation of the number of Lugers like yours. The 1906 started at around 25,1XX and, as you can see from Lugerdoc's post that his is numbered 25,8XX in the same configuration as yours, that is at least 700. To add a little confusion however, there are some very early 1906 Lugers close to the 25,1XX number that do not have the GESICHERT marking, so it is a mixed bag. At any rate, they are scarce and surviving examples are hard to come by.

Well, I received good news today from the head of the provincial government branch of the firearms registration department on PEI, they have checked with their Federal counterpart, and as long as I sign up for the two required firearms courses ($100.00) and apply for my firearms liscence ($80.00) by the end of December, they are going to register my Luger to me directly (as soon as they receive my registration I presume) without any additional hassles. The other bit of good news is I ran back and forth to the various branches of government and accomplished all that today while Christmas shopping for my wife.

All I have to do is drop my now completed liscence application (including social insurance number, driver's liscence, and two signatures of people who have known me for five years and will vouch for my character) off in the mail tomorrow on my way to Christmas Eve dinner at my mothers'.

So, to the best of anyone's knowledge, either mine or the various involved branches of the government, my Luger is now about to be legally and properly registered in my name, and I'm about to become a legally liscenced restricted firearms owner.

Now, all I need is money and I can become a collector! Again, thanks for all the help and information. Donald L. Wood.

If it's addictive, it's an expensive high by the look of things [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't think I can collect the majority of Lugers as it is, with this barrel length/prohibited firearm classification. I did find my way over to the Gunbroker.com site and was amazed at the different Lugers over there. Fortunately I'm still too ignorant to bid on any of them [img]smile.gif[/img]
