Flyingdutchman Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi Ronny, always nice to see an untouched Luger or Pistole 08. This one seems to have the original blue, that?s especially fine when you have the weapon with matching numbers. So don?t reblue parts !The #655 means, that the acceptance inspection has been made directly in the Mauser factory in Oberndorf and in ?41.Any history behind this puppy ?Nice find !Regards;Flyingdutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi Flyingdutch, Thanks for the information.The gun is from Norway and if I rememberCorrect it was given to a Swedish police man after the war,It was in his possession to his death. The gun was sold to a Local gun dealer where I found it five-six years ago.I will try to do some more research.I have no plan on re-blue it.. All my collecting guns are matching numbers so fare,(All I only have three guns and one rifle) But if I find a stg 44 I might make an exception Adding some more pictures,The P08 kit.CheersRonny.
