For George(GWA)...Luger with history

01-21-2007, 02:45 PM

This was a gift from a neighbor. He recently wrote me a nice letter describing how he picked the pistol up.
It's a mismatch and a funny one at that. Check out the numbers It's a great shooter.
This is what I recommend folks to try to do if they find stuff directly from the vet...we all wonder "If these things could only talk!".

Great piece Roscoe, just goes to prove that they don't always have to have matching parts. Thanks.

I like to think that often the actual history of the weapon is more important than matching numbers. Especially with the testimony of the vet that brought it back.
A "Restoration" would actually devalue the piece. In my humble opinion.

It is an interesting "mismatch" tho....
