Can anyone tell me how many persian lugers with the 4"barrell,9mm there is?.I know Ralph has one for $6500.Do you know anyone else that has one?Thanks

George,

There were 1000 or the LP08's and either 2000 or 3000 of the 4" barrel Persians. At first it was thought that there were 1000 of the 4" pistols, but I believe your pistol is in the 1800 range, and some now say that there are known specimens over the 2000 serial number range.

A friend of mine had owned one of the LP08's for a number of years, and a couple of years ago bought one of the 4" pistols. Another friend has two of the cut-a-ways.

Thanks Johnny.The number on mine is 2831.I guess there was more than 2000 made.Most likely 3000.I wonder where they are.

I have an old book from Simpson (Sept/Oct 2000) and he listed four of them in price ranges $3500 to $4500. Granted that is an old book and they may not be in the condition of Ralph's or no longer available but it's worth a look see.

Sorry about that. I forgot that there are 4 inch Persians too. Since I collect artilleries and navies I naturally thought of the Persian artillery Luger. The Persian Luger isn't one of my favorites since I have trouble at gun shows and the like reading the markings. I have a simular distrust of the 1908 navy (its the long and short frame thing).

Simpson offered me 6000.for mine.It`s got some history with it plus the papers and holster and other things.It`s a nice collector piece.I would like to know more about the General that had it.
