Luger to buy

Rhood · 04-01-2017, 03:33 PM

I was looking at this Luger to buy but I am not sure about the price 1600 with matching mag . Need some help new to Luger.

Thanks

From what I can see of this Luger, it looks correct to me. I am not a Luger expert, but I would definitely give that gun a second look.

Was this from "sreisel" of gunbrokerl.com? He lists many items, and has some nice items from time to time.

At first glance it looks like a very reasonable deal. My only concerns, and granted these are a bit wild, are that the grips look "too nice" (probably original grips that have been freshened up) and the finish looks more like rust bluing instead of the salt bluing common to that year of gun. Please don't take this literally, the finish issue is probably a result of the photography, I don't really doubt the originality, these 2 things sort of bug me and I'd like to see more photos or hold it in my hands.

I will retract any concerns stated regarding rust bluing vs. salt bluing.
Nice gun and priced right.

Well I did purchase it. It's my first Luger. The seller gave me a 3 day inspection on it to boot.
I think I did well.. Thank you all for your help.
