S/42 P.08 & Holster for $400... Should I Buy?

RylanBrissette · 10-22-2007, 02:38 AM

Hey guys, this is my first thread in a while.

I saw this Luger for sale, and I think I might want to buy it.

It is a re-blued 1937 S/42 what i think is all matching Luger. It comes with a mag and a 1926 dated holster. One problem however, is that the grips are obviously not original... nor even correct. Any info about the holster, or what it would be worth. Not really a collector Luger but seems not bad for $400, what do you all think about it.

That would go for $6-700 around where I live. Anything Luger is expensive and a good shooter is nice to have.

If there are any holster experts I would be very interested to know your opinions. Non experts more than welcome too!

The FXO mag is worth at least $150 . The only mistake you may have made is if you havent allready brought it

I don't think THAT fxo mag is worth $150. It appears to have a major problem.

I would be interested in the holster. Could trade you some grips for it ;>)

PS: fxo mags were never nickled, they were blued...

Buy it before it gets away... a shooter at that price is a steal.

Ed, NEVER say never! The holster is pretty rough....Jerry Burney

Edward Tinker · 10-22-2007, 08:49 PM

Jerry, I haven't seen a nickled fxo before, has anyone else?

The holster, look at the date... It is a 1926, I'll take a rough one to not owning one...

Anyone have a 1926 they'd trade, sell or trade me?

Darn... sorry guys this one has been sold all along. I was not aware of the meaning of "SPF", I got my hopes up for nothing. Sorry for my screwup!

But I am looking for another Luger so soon hopfully I will own another. I have seen this 1917 all matching DWM at the gun show for some time now. It only gets cheaper ever show. I think it is at around 500$ now.
