1917 Navy with 1917 Holster found

Jasta2 · 11-16-2013, 02:48 PM

At the Lakeland gun show I found a private seller walking around, from the butt stock and holster it had to be a Navy.
It was a matching 1917 Navy with non matching Navy mag.
If was in a very good condition 1917 marked navy holster complete with the tool and original cleaning rod. Also with it came a shoulder stock, seller said it was original but not navy. Most likely a artillery stock. It looked,
to me at least, a great set. His asking price was $4,300. I was surprised, I though a set like that would bring a lot more. He said most dealers there cared little about Lugers and offered very low money for. He left with it, but I have his name and number. You guys think it's a good buy, I'll look more into it.
Thanks

Hi Bill, If everything is correct, it sounds very cheap. If your in doubt, try to post photos before you commit. If you know the gun's serial number that would help also.
Regards, Norm
