Luger

[Wehrmacht39]

Just picked up this Luger, It's rough (someone put it on the grinder ) For who knows what reason ... But I got it for $300.00. The guy thought it was broke, so he sold it cheap, but it turned out that he had just put it together wrong. I took it home, striped it, put it back together (Correctly) and now, good as new It shoots great too

Could someone tell me what these numbers mean? ( 114.R.11.5. ) I think it's a WWI Erfurt Luger that was reissued in WWII. Don't know the date, It has been ground off...

114th regiment,11th company,5th gun issued

5th gun issued to the soldier who owned it? Sorry, please forgive me but I know nothing about that kind of thing...

wow man, where do you get deals like that?! that's about $600 under what I see them go for on Gun Broker! It looks like it has the original wooden mag, awesome piece.

Thanks! Yeah, like I said, the guy sold it really cheap because he thought it was broke

this is one of those rare lugers that you can enjoy shooting with
rather than keeping it in a case and over protecting it
enjoy it and have fun shooting it

The pistol doesn't appear to be an Erfurt from the photos shown. I assume it has an Erfurt toggle but the side plate seems to be from a DWM. Can you post some close-up photos?

what you have just said could explane the grindings
someone trying to make it what is not
having said that its a shooter ,,so great pleasure
as i said before most lugers are protected and never used
this one is rare ,,as in it can be fired to hearts content with no loss
a luger like that is worth its wight in gold

I personaly would love to put a few thousand rounds thruw that luger and not worry about the value
i wouldnt care if i hit the target
i just love to see that toggle action doing what it does
i put best part of 5 thousand rounds thruw my mothers luger before the ban
and just loved it didnt hit a thing but great fun
bybthe way good germen parabelum 9mm kiks like a mule
the lugers function is to slow for modern 9mm
it will try to jump out of your hand
but HELL enjoy im very jealouse
cheers ian
