Might someone of the membership know something about this pistol? I know Luger collectors are fanatical about them and seem to know about every minor detail. Would you please share your knowledge if you know. The internet is full of a lot of misinformation.
I always kept a little in the budget for just this particular instance.
I told the Gun Gods I enjoy German martial weapons, but hate swastikas being on them.
Once i was rewarded by them with a P-38 made in 1962, no paper.
Then I must have done something right because i stumbled onto this jewel in an obscure shop downtown Tyler.
An ERFURT 1917 German Luger with a wood magazine base. I have rarely even seen any Lugers in gun shops, much less Imperial German Lugers with the wood magazine base. needless to say, I snagged it up for what I consider to be a bit much, but probably in line with prices of today.
It even has the slot in the bacl for the shoulder stock, though I am not sure of the legalities of that.
However, when I got home and started looking, I found others in not near as good condition for much more than I paid.
It set me back $1500, and I may have gotten screwed, but I still have it.
I think this means I will start selling off some other guns to thin the heard out.
Pics or it did not happen? OK...
