Thumbs down

I feel realy sorry for anyone that bids on this piece of crap. There are so many things wrong with this Luger, I hate to mention them all. Nuff said!!

Actually, this is a pretty interesting gun. It appears to be made up entirely of unnumbered spares, and WAG suggests that it is a PX-type gun assembled at a captured Heeres-Zeugamt.

It appears to have the antler mark of the Ulm proof house on the back. That didn't appear until 1968 and I have never seen it in that position before.

I kinda like this gun.

The seller seems to have been pretty honest in his description.

I guess the litmus test for this one would be the DD214. If it states that the s/n is 42 then this may actually be in the original configuration. It is very interesting. All I can do to keep my finger off the trigger.
