[JuergenG]

Impressive !
Many of mine are covered in the "New acquisitions" threads over the course of the last 4 1/2 years.

 

[Pilgrim]

JuergenG, I don't think we have enough server space for you to republish your guns !

 

[Knob Creek]

1917 S&W Revolver with 1927 Argentine Sistema:

JuergenG, I don't think we have enough server space for you to republish your guns !

Too much of an honor, but thanks anyway.
There are still too many out there I'd want to even make the server blink.
But I keep workin on it.....

Here's one of my Third Reich era Lugers, all matching early 1937 S/42 rig.

 

[rattletrap1970]

SACM M1935A

Incidentally, if anyone could tell me the date of production I'd appreciate it.

 

[JuergenG]

Per the infos I have received from a fellow collector:
- Serial range A001A - B0700A made before the French capitulation; adopted and initial production in late 1936/early 1937,
- Serial range B0701A - D4500A made during the German occupation from Oct 15, 1940 through April 28, 1944.

What's the prefix of yours ? I can hardly see it.

 

[Pilgrim]

I forgot this one.

1917 Colt. They were still being used in WWII.

 

[rattletrap1970]

The prefix looks like a capital cursive "F"

 

[daltrey99]

I am going to have to round up all of my stuff and take a group photo soon.

 

[45collector]

The prefix looks like a capital cursive "F"

I think they were all in lowercase.

Here's my duo of fascist WWII pistolas:

 

[rattletrap1970]

Ok here you go:

 

[45collector]

My mistake, I was thinking Lugers!

Here's something I found on Jan C Still's Luger forum that I found helpful in figuring out the correct serial # to write on the FA10 and C&R log when I got my Luger.

When I aquired it I was all set to write "u" as the prefix. Good thing I did a little research and found out its actually a "v".

 

[Sir_Macadoo]

P35, P38, P08 (the P08 is 1918 vintage, close enough)

 

[Sir_Macadoo]

These are better...

 

[JuergenG]

If it's an F the pistol has been made after the liberation of France and before February of 1950, when production was stopped.

Thanks for looking,

Very nice.
Is that a GDR "Grenztruppen" Uniform with the Luger ?

I've picked up the 3 (modern) Mauser pistols posted in the Novemver acquisitions thread today.
Well, talking to a collector is somehow dangerous: Another M1914 and a M1934 had to go with me, too.....
He also had a very nice P.08 byf 42. Last year of manufacture and complete with spare mag, tool and
holster, all in almost new condition. Too bad, he didn't want to part with this rig!

Good eye as usual! It is a GDR Grenztruppen uniform that I picked up while living in Germany. I thought it would be an okay background since the P08 was an East German refinished piece.


In my next life, I'm coming back as your heir

Lol, this role is covered by my kiddos already.
Daughter will go for her permit in spring, right after her 21st birthday.
That should keep the vultures away, should I get "cold feet" unexpectedly.

Very nice !
Out of curiosity, out of which alpha-block is the byf 41 ?

 

[BerkshireHunter]

Nice collections! I want a Webley... or an Adams

 

[Karl]

Okay, I'll play....

1943 Remington Rand

1940ish S&W Victory in 38/200 from Australia.

1940's "War Finish" Webley Mk IV in 38/200

1942 Nambu

Lugers! All but one are 1938 - 1942. The other is a Weimar era.

1943 and a 1944 Spreewerk P38s.

 

[JuergenG]

Very nice pictures of very nice pieces of history!
I'll play with a family photo once the re-organization of the pistol safe is done

 

[Maninblue1861]

Very nice !

S block. people who see it are surprised as they dont see many that high up on the alpha block.

it does have a little speckling on muzzle, and on grip strap. Not totally new, but def an eye catcher at the range when they go out for the once anual excersize of 2 mags each.

 

[JuergenG]

s-block doesn't appear to be unusual or rare, see this serial number study http://luger.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=3695
Mine are from the a- and q-blocks.
