Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, although I am on several other forums and militaria pages.
This is my first Luger. It is all matching, except the magazine, which is 4 numbers off from the rest of the gun. Grips are matching as well. Bore is like a mirror, action is tight.
What makes this gun unique is the "9" carved into the grips on either side. I cannot tell if they were once red or black filled.
A few questions,
1: Is it possible given the close number to the rest of the gun that the magazine in it is the one that came from the factory?
2: Do the "9"s add any sort of collectability or value? Do they appear to be original to the gun?
Not for sale, my first Luger for my collection.
Any and all thoughts and comments appreciated!
Thanks, Hayden
