Nice 1918 Luger. Enjoy it Ben! Pre deact. groupings were good. They are very unique guns to fire.

Very nice Ben. Sometimes a deact in 100% condition and matching is better to have than a firing one that breaks a piece that cannot be replaced. Recall a member at my gun club firing a G-43 and had the extractor go south. Pretty expensive for firing a couple rounds. Having the real deal is all that matters sometimes. just the way I feel.

Did you hit yourself on the head lately ?. It is ALWAYS preferable to have an ORIGINAL peice in operable condition than a paperweight. The example of a G/K43 is bad...those rifles are like driving a yugo....parts WILL break and fall off.
I've had a G41M and it was a bugbear to get running..really not worth the work to make it function but it either shoots or it finds a new home !.

Agree Gew98. I realize it is preferable to own a gun capable of firing but I realize in some countries they are not allowed. I merely meant it was better to have a piece of history than nothing at all. Thanks for your kind words.

Ben, gone Luger loopy, I for one don't blame you.
Another nice one in the bag.
I think I am right in saying its from RJ Militaria, I had some nice things from him in the past
and always find Richard helpful and friendly.
As ever, lovely P08 and keep them coming!
