1st Luger

[LarryHoosier]

Here is my 1939 military Luger (42 Mauser). A birthday present from the wife (she was with me when I purchased it and that sounds less mercenary than ,"present to myself!"

I've always wanted a shooter and I think that I did alright on this one. It came with original Karl Barth holster w/original tool, and 2 original matching mags. Everything matches except the safety bar. When I first bought it I had some difficulty with the trigger. Replaced the FP (saving the original), FP spring, and trigger bar spring. It shoots very well now with very consistent trigger. I bought it for a price that I would expect to buy a non-matching shooter for, my good luck I guess. It has a very tiny import mark on the right side which if you didn't know it was there would take some good eyes to detect, my kind of import stamp.

Sweet Luger!!! My brother has one from DWM 1918. Shoots great and just looks bad to the bone. Very unique pistol!

I have a BRAND N E W LUGER, but it's a MITCHELL STAINLESS STEEL made in 1991, i've never shot it, wish it would have been blue. Your LUGER has a history, if only your gun can talk

Congrats on the great present LH! You have a very nice gun and a fine piece of history. I don't know much about Lugers but they do have an aura. I have an undated DWM with unit markings on the frontstrap that the Luger gurus at NGD say first was issued in WWl. My dad took this from a panzer crewman KIA when his tank was destroyed ( bazooka blast) near Vielsam Belgium Dec 1944.
