Back when I was five years old ,December 1960,I was sitting on the lap of Santa Claus at a Lord and Taylor,when asked what I wanted for Christmas I told him I wanted a Luger...He looked at my mom and she just shrugged as if to say "what do you want from me...The kid likes Lugers."Never changed.
..same with me.. I was about 3- years Old then..the Second WW had just ended so there were Many LUGERS around. I First Saw a LUGER in a GUNSTORE and I literally made a scene when My Dad Said buying it was not as easy as that (we were residing outside the USA).. A few spanking on the spot convinced me my Dad was right. I would be 33-years Old before I would get MY LUGER..a Double dated 1921-1918 piece with its Unit designation at the Front Strap.. it was worth the wait 👍 😊
Santas sat there thinking “oh nein! The kid knows my past!” 😂 I had a similar thing when I was a young boy in the 90s. There was a Christmas double decker bus that used to come every year to our local Asda (you know Asda as Walmart most likely) and he asked what I would like for Christmas: I asked for a sawn off shotgun 😂 my dad had recently explained what one was after I’d seen a film with one in (no idea what the film was). But yeah Santa started to bluster a little bit and didn’t know what to do I don’t think 😂 bear in mind I’m English so guns are the devil here because they’ve been demonised by successive governments unfortunately 🤦♂️ I think we should have a version of the 2nd amendment enshrined in our human rights but I’m an infinitesimal minority here.
I only have one Luger and have only had it for a couple of months. Everyone who has tried has been like wow this feels nice in hand. Georg designed something uniquely aestheticly pleasing and ergonomic on his first try.
if you can stop @ just 1 Luger you are a rare breed ... everything about this iconic weapon pulls you in especially the way if feels in your hand but also its incredible overall design ... Georg Luger was a master gunsmith bar none.
I'd hate to have a TOO NICE LUGER because then I either wouldn't shoot it at all or VERY LITTLE. Would hate to break a numbered part and spoil the VALUE of a GREAT PISTOL.😯😉😁👍😂😂
Its funny how mesmerizing Luger's are ... I own 4 Artillery Luger's including a mint #'s matching 1914 Erfurt, a mint 1900 DWM in 7.65 Parabellum caliber (aka .30 Luger), a rare Finnish SA M23 9mm Luger with a Tikkakoski barrel. We collectors love Tom & Legacy Collectables because we know we will always see Luger's that are desirable and fairly priced. Great video Tom as usual THANKS Brother.
Tom, how about a range of price on a double dated Erfurt ( 1918-1920 ) but was issued to police in Wiesbaden Germany according to the front strap markings. That strap shows wear but the rest of the luger ( all matching ) in very good condition.
Do the tools in the holsters have a serial number? I’m just curious if you could completely that rig with the capture papers by just buying a tool without having to force match it or something to make it look correct.
Very NICE PISTOLS, great video. I hear you talking about "HALO" by the numbers on the barrel not sure what you are talking about, could you explain?😉😁👍
Around mid 1937 and earlier Lugers were rust blued. Over time the serial number on the barrel starts to form a slight haze (halo) around the numbers. Such is not the case from mid 1937 onwards due to a salt / dip bluing process.
I have byf 42 135 barrel mark. All numbers matching gun and grips and magazines and holster. Could anyone help me give me more information about it ???
I feel like lugers are so expensive cause a select few buy 20-30 of them. Me personally I don't understand why you need so many. Its the same with cars your second and third car wont bring as much enjoyment as the first. I would rather spend money buying different guns. I don't mind spending some money but for the price I could buy multiple different relics from the same time period.
I like having an example or 2 of many various firearms I own 2 lugers would like a ww2 dated at some point as well. But im not into the tiny little difference like this one is a k or its 98% condition not 99 stuff like that. Being that particular is weird and not for me.
@@grayparatrooper its redundant to own over 10. For you I can be okay with owning a couple but people who own 10, 20 , 30 price others out of the market. its just hoarding at that point. I am okay with hoarding many different firearms but hoarding a bunch of the same when a limited supply is available is greedy. I've been trying to find a ww2 era luger below 2k and its hard.
I bought a luger that was bought in France in 1928 it has a date of 1917 has stamps on righ hand side also has a navy luger barrel and has been adapted to use a erma. 22 and the real stock mount ground down is this gun worth repair or should I just use it for shooting
I would venture to say that your helper was correct on the police holster. I'm a former police officer, and when you need to draw your weapon, you need to be fast. A buckle would be the last thing you would mess with. About removing the proof markings in my opinion that destroys the value of the pistol . If you don't want to see a Nazi swastika, buy ones that don't have them. I wouldn't pay a plug nickel for a gun, that has been defaced and ruined.

Beautiful weapon
You’ve been talking about lugers so much that I’ve had to go out and buy a black widow Luger with black grips 😂

Woodpecker factory is famous for 9mm smg.
Safes not opened in 8 years, yet there was an M17 Surplus in one of them. Not sure how that happened.
Wow!
Gods truth how many WWI guns have matching anything.

@@jcg5571 THANK YOU SIR FOR THE EXPLANATION 😉😁👍
Muito bom!
Muito obrigado!
Numbers match all over gun.
all st.len from europ
Great guns
What did you value the luger with capture papers at?
That one that you said. Is war 7000 to 8000 with the waffen eagles on it....i got one of them and I identified it through this channel so thanks.
I have 2 Erfurt Lugers. 1913 and the other is a 1914. Are Erfurt Lugers any more valuable than war time Lugers?
Could you please explain the unusual shaped "S" on the S/42 marking on the K date Luger? Thanks!
I will NEVER get bored of watching Your videos! (THANKS Tom & the Team!!)
PS. What would be a correct tool for an army 1938 S/42?
Any review on the all stainless steel OFM Lugger?
7.65 calibre
I have byf 42 135 barrel mark. All numbers matching gun and grips and magazines and holster.
Could anyone help me give me more information about it ???
Have a double date erfurt 1917,1920 looks like 4.62 barrel length. Mag does not match but appear ok 8678. Looks good condition. Any ballpark value ?
I would like to get my Luger appraised? Can you provide some insight on where to start. Thanks.

Don’t talk about 38H’s before I get one 😭😭
Where are Y'all located?
Paoli, PA. Near Philadelphia
Sent you an email
Think these videos are driving the collectable price's up ?
Well, they are certainly driving down my bank account balance …

Germany never used the term navy..so the N cannot mean navy.
January 1931 ah to power
I have a few Lugers. My Democrat Representative told me I should melt them down because guns are bad.
I do Not understand why they remove the markings at all that is just ruining a historical piece would you deface a Roman coin if you found one?

Great. I now committed the sin of coveting. Thanks a lot. I'll now wipe the drool of my screen and leave.
