S#: 6986 | Matching on almost all of the parts | 7-7/8" Barrel with adjustable sight that goes from 1-8 | The side plate is stamped 98, most likely from a dyslexic armorer, however the extractor is mismatched and stamped 58 | Comes with (1) aluminum base unmarked magazine | Comes with a leather holster and an original wood board stock with an imperial stamp of crown/S and the serial number 5130C | 1914 was the only year that Erfurt ever made the Long Artillery style Luger and they are quite scarce. It's nearly impossible to find a Luger from the first year of the war that looks as good as this one. Obtaining just an early production Luger is difficult, but to obtain an Artillery Luger like this one in this nice of condition is extremely rare and hard to do. This is an important and highly desirable piece for the serious Luger and WWI collector |||| CONDITION: Very good. Overall 98% mixture of original and touched up blue finish and includes the original straw finish, which is still present on some of the smaller parts where it's original. Overall looks great. All the markings are still crisp and visible. Wood checkered grips are in good and solid condition, showing honest wear. Left grip shows a few chips on the top corners. Mechanically functions. Bore is good with good rifling and some light frosting in the grooves. Wood stock shows a repaired hairline crack on the right side. Nice and solid and displays well. Overall, a nice hard-to-find variation Luger that works well and is functional ||||| FFL CLASS: C&R
