Serial #641
Georg Luger worked for Bouchard and took what he learned there and a few years later developed the iconic Luger pistol. . . still a weak and finicky work of art, but robust enough for military use all the way through the 1950s.
Opening bid is a mere $90,000. . .
There’s a lot of antique gun porn at this auction. . . Closing on April 11th. Apparently some of the most famous large collections of the last 50 years are being broken up and AuctionEd off, including many of the finest pristine engraved Colts and Winchesters that were featured in the collector’s books. Many are in this auction. . . DROOL!
How can he have used it positively if he’s deader n’ a door nail?

Beauteous objects within thread.
I saw the most incredible antique firearms from the 17th, 18th, and 19th century - "deactivated" so as to comply with harsh gun control laws.
It was heartbreaking.
For sale would be something like these antique dueling pistols, and they would have a 1/4" or 1/2" hole drilled into them in front of the cocking lever with a rod of steel welded into the frame.
Unbelievable.
WOW!
From what I have read, the gun was issued to company M, which fought with Reno at the Little Big Horn.
bang
Why would someone pay that for an obviously ineffective weapon? :P

Good afternoon.
Maybe this is the sidearm of Maj. Myles Keogh?
