Great set of K-Date Luger grips.  Not every day
you find these with the Scriptic "S".  The wood is
excellent and no cracks.  As you know, each of
these was hand fit to the gun, therefore a little
sanding may be needed.  Would dress up you K
date.
$175
Very nice droop wing Luftwaffe buckle.  No
maker on back but still has original leather tab
with 1938 date and maker.  Good example and
priced to move.
$125
Great looking Navy Luger dated 1917 with
90%+ blue.  Very nice gun with great eye
appeal.  Has all matching numbers and is even
referenced in Still's book, "Central Power
Pistols", page 121 where it identifies that it is the
highest number observed that was issued at the
Keil dockyards.  Gun is serial # 4823 while clip
is 4900.  Surely to have been on the same ship.
 One area the size of a fingernail on the left side
of frame is missing blue and has the slightest
speckling.  Not bad but mentioned for
exactness.  Think about how many are on the
bottom of the North sea.  Grips are perfect.  
Hardly any muzzle wear and nice bluing on
barrel.  Date is on left side of frame with navy
proofs above, and it's dated on the front sight
as is correct.  Rare correct gun reasonably
priced.
$5295
ON HOLD
Nice rig consisting of late war P-38 and shoulder
holster.  Gun displays about 98% original blue
with typical late war machining on metal pieces.  
All numbers match and grips fit extremely well
for a late war product.  Holster is in superb
condition with all straps.  Brought back this way
by the Vet.  Will not sell holster individually.  Has
extra clip as well.  This is a great CYQ at a fair
price for this condition.  You won't be
disappointed.  C&R or FFL only.  First of quite a
few Lugers picked up out of a local collection.  
All very nice.
$950
Rare piece of Adolph Hitler silverware.  At one
time there were allot around but not anymore as
they are staying in collections.  Picked this one
up out of Gary Hendershott's last catalog.  
Runic AH pattern and Wellner backmark.  Fork
is in great condition and will add to any
collection.  He gave me a deal on several pieces
so I'll pass that along to you.  Last piece left.
$225
Nice early RZM 120/34 SS dagger.  Has early
nickel crossguards and anodized scabbard.  
Blade has been cleaned at some time and has a
few areas of faint crossbrushing left.  Never
sharpened, good blade tip and no nicks on
edges.  Handle has minimal shrinkage and
overall good fit.  There is one hairline crack
running from the SS runes down about an inch.  
Runes have full enamel.  Legend on blade is
medium color.  Anodized part of scabbard is
very nice overall with a two minor dings.  
Scabbard ball is dented at bottom with a small
crack.  scabbard screw heads are smooth and
not messed up.  Top screw of dagger is smooth
and appears to never have had a tool on it.  
Overall above average SS dagger and not
priced out of the roof like those at the shows.  
Division I marking on crossguard.

SOLD
World War I trench knife.  Excellent condition
and sure to go up in value as the anniversary
nears.  Has good US 1917 markings and great
wood handle.  Acquired from local family who
had this and another from their ancestor.
$375
1941 AC P-38 pistol.  Nice early ac-41 luger.  
Original finish still displays nicely.  Has wear on
all high spots, to be expected on a gun that saw
extensive use and probably in Russia.  These
were the lugers of choice in 1941.  Grips have
nice tight fit and are in great shape with no
chips or nicks.  All serial numbers match
throughout gun  and Germnan Eagles on frame.
 Serial number 6578a.  This gun WILL ONLY be
sold by going to an FFL license holder.   Usually
you can arrange this for a nominal fee as you
know.  Nice early ac P38 that will enhance any
display.
