I also bought a Mauser reproduction P08 in 9mm with 4 inch barrel in the early 70’s. Fit and finish was superb. The 30 caliber ammo is around a 1.00 per round, if and when you can find it. I had many WWII Lugers and all were finished nicely. I even was able to purchase one from a Vet who had the holster and matching numbered mags, both of them. The holster was numbered to the weapon with a small attached paper pad with the guy’s name also in it. Wish I never sold that one too because I have never seen one with matching number mag let alone the holster too. The dumb things we do right?

Let me know where and how much you want for the Luger. I been really wanting one since I was 12 that was 55 years ago and I have the means thank you very much

@@ronaldhux7226If you have the means, buy one off of gunbroker instead of asking a random KZfaqr to buy his grand pops heirloom he inherited.

Make sure you don't end up with a .30 Luger. Lots of regular firearms dealers don't know what they're talking about and will sell you one cause "it's a Luger so it must be 9mm"

Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment.

Good luck!

Alot of gun dealers don't know anything about old firearms. They stick to old wives tales and myths alot. Glad you enjoy your .30 cal

I wouldn't shoot +P out of mine. They weren't designed for those kind of pressures.

Lugers are meant to be looked at, not used. XD

Glad to hear that!

Can't agree more.

Also a good idea to get anything historical that you take to the range reviewed by a competent gunsmith!

You are missing the short, flat spring retainer. Try David Rachwal, Handguns of the World, Gun Parts, or any other internet source. It is a pretty common, unnumbered part. Good luck!

It would help the value, but the costs to rehabilitate would not be advantageous.

@@historicinvestments2587 No it would not help the value.

We actually have a video where we show small parts restoration. Check it out!

Yessir! They don't seem to understand the joys of cooking gun parts XD Thanks for watching and your support!

Glad to hear the video was informative! Send me an email at histarms@gmail.com

I'd suggest trading it in and using that money + a little extra and get a real 1929 Swiss Bern Luger whose grips are better shaped. Or take a file and re-checker!

I never said anything about Germans being villains. But if you are using a Luger in a WW2 film, chances are, you are a villain.

I am with you Jesse, however 'HI' didn't say that Germans were villains. This notion comes from Hitler's era. Hollywood, ie Americans, somehow propagandized the Luger to be synonymous with Nazis. This is not true as the Luger played an important part in every era of German history but WAS NEVER the PRIMARY gun of the Nazi soldier. The Walther PP and PPK were as well as the HSC. In Imperial Germany, WW1 era, the Luger WAS the primary weapon. The Artillery Luger was made specifically for WW1 and produced from 1913 to 1918. There were no Nazis in that era. The 1913 Artillery is extremely rare and an early prototype ... good luck finding one. My main point is Luger's have NOTHING to do with Nazis and owning one does not make you a Nazi or evil. Jesse is 1000% right that this stereotype created by Hollywood is offensive to all Germans ... please read your history books. Georg Luger was a brilliant arms designer and the Luger, refined from the Hugo Borchardt's C93, was instrumental in the development of semi automatic pistols. The history of the chain of influence from Maxim, Borchardt, Luger is fascinating and important to the proper understanding of the Luger. By the way the proper pronunciation of Georg is Gay-org, not George as so many think.

6million seems like a bit of an exaggeration especially given that Anne Frank died in hospital

Unfortunately, GERMANS, elected, and LOVED HITLER, and LOVED to King over the world. They are not 100% nazis, but would NOT have stopped unless they were defeated.
