Just bought/inherited '41 Luger

guess1 · 03-20-2003, 11:09 PM

I just bought (from the mother-in-law) a byf'41 Luger,

and have no idea what I've got here. All #s seem to match, except on steel mag. Any info or advice is appreciated.

Jeff,
I guess that here won't be any bad mother-in-law jokes about your mother-in-law. Looks like you got a good one. Pictures and a little more information is needed on the Luger. Then you should step back and watch all the help come in from the forum. All Lugers are good, some are just a little better.

I'll try to get some pics up in the next day or so. I can say it appears that all the parts are correct. Serial # on left side of gun is 9352, with the #52 stamped everywhere except on the magazine (steel/aluminum). The grips are wooden, and the checked pattern is in very good shape, with the only worn spots being about an eighth of an inch up from the magazine. The bluing is probably good over 70-80% of the surface, with no rust......I'll just try to get some pics up soon.

I have some pics posted now, but I re-posted in the "All Military P08" forum.

Thanks,

Jeff
