Help Luger Dilemma 1915 or 1917

Diesel76239 · 03-08-2009, 02:24 PM

So here's the deal I have a few collectible lugers but am searching for a good year round shooter. But I have two to choose from and will sell of the other at some point. So which one do you think I should sell and which one to shoot. Both are mechanically fine shooters. I have a commercial 1915 that is 95% blue and straw on it. The only thing is that the frame serial does not match but everything else does. I also have a 1917 commercial one that all matches but is a re-blue. They did a good job on it at least. Both are DWM pistols with the lug on the back. Please I could use some advise from the experts on which may be worth more long run.

Sell BOTH and get a really nice, matched, non-reblued beauty.
