1915 Luger with Holster and Papers

MarkC · 06-13-2016, 06:52 PM

I've been redoing some of my gun photography and this 1915 Luger has been in my collection for a while. It has the original holster with the added cleaning rod and pouch.

It came back from WWII with the capture papers, notice the letter suffix is not on the paper, typical of many capture papers from the time.

GI's didn't understand the letter suffix is part of the serial number!

Enjoy!

It has seen many years of service before it was brought back ... two wars and the Weimer era.

Mags are period correct but not matched all other numbers are matched numbered to the gun including the firing pin.
