  1. New Collectors Board
    I just acquired this amazing Stainless Steel American Eagle Luger 9mm. New in box, never fired. It has a grounded down stock lug so it's a neither/nor. I'd like to find out if others have successfully removed the stock lug and refinished to non lug configurations? I realize it would involve some...
  2. New Collectors Board
    I pulled this one out of storage and know nothing about it except what I could find quickly online. I think it is made by Walter in 1941…?? Seems to be a few variation around. The gun is in excellent shape. All s/n #match. No s/n on mag. just P 38 :-( Your thoughts and expertise are appreciated...
  3. 1900-1918: Long P.08-Artillery Lugers
    I will be looking at a 1917 artillery Thursday. 85 %. Matching exept for the mag. Not refinished. No holster for 1800. Values are all over do you think this is a good price? It is unit marked. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
