[dwr461]

It's a DMW 1915 all matching parts, military gun, 1914 pattern, made in 1915. I got a commercial made holster made in Berlin in 1963 with it.

Nice score Dave. I've been wanting to add one of these to my collection for a while

 

[deafdave3]

My dad and I both have an obsession with Lugers. He has something like.... 30 or something. Mostly DWM. One from each year, except for the one year they didn't make them. Something like that. He has a huge collection. Gonna take a picture next time I'm there and put it here.

 

[Candyman]

I guess I need to start looking for one.

 

[dwr461]

Yes you do Candyman, but you'll be able to buy like 12 Mosin Nagant's for the price of one of these things.

I'd love to see a picture of your Dad's collection, Dave.

Dad's collection:

Whoa! Nice collection. The Luger is one pistol that has eluded me all my life. They've always been out of reach pricewise. I recall ads for them in gun rags of the 60's for $43.00 each. When the Russian captures came into the country I thought maybe now I can afford one. Wasn't destined to happen. I think they were going for $400.00 or so at the time and I had a young wife and kids to support on meager wages. Maybe one day.

 

[dwr461]

Yeah I know what you mean Cleburne. I decided that they never going to get cheap enough for me to afford. So I bought one that couldn't afford.

Wow! Dave that's an awesome collection!

[deafdave3]

Okay, okay... you got me. I fibbed a little bit. That's not really MY office.

However, that really is my Dad's collection in the first photo.

 

[bigoo7e]

But do you recall... one of the most famous Lugers of all?

I would have posted a direct picture from the web, but for some of reason my iPhone won't let me! :-/

Peace,

[deafdave3]

Yeah, that's one of the three .45's. One was lost, and I have the other one.

No pic's with you holding and shooting it, no gun! ;-p

 

[ericlosh]

Nice luger op, that thing doesn't look almost 100 years old.

 

[deafdave3]

No pic's with you holding and shooting it, no gun! ;-p

Well, uh... the gun's camera shy!

 

[bigoo7e]

Well, uh... the gun's camera shy!

Lol, what's the serial number on yours?

 

[deafdave3]

Lol, what's the serial number on yours?

Damn. Okay, you got me. I fibbed again. TBH, though... I think the oldest gun I own is a Remington 700 made in 1964.

It's ok, it was a trick question... none of the model 1906's that where made in 1907 for the U.S Army test trials had serial numbers IIRC. ;-p

Huh. I thought my dad taught me everything, but I didn't know that, for sure.

 

[bigoo7e]

Huh. I thought my dad taught me everything, but I didn't know that, for sure.

Well I am not 100% sure for the other two... but since the one that is at the Norton Art Gallery here in Shreveport, La. doesn't have one, so I would think it would be safe to say the others didn't as well. ;-p

Dave that is a fine collection.
