Any Luger with two original matching magazines is a great find!

What's that website you found the KIA on? Maybe I can find more on my great grandfather.

Excellent find! If you yield to the temptation of shooting it, you probably already know not to use the original magazines as after a century, the wooden bases have dried-out, lost their strength, and crack easily. On my early Lugers, I use either a '29 Swiss or one of my WWII mags and a new recoil spring.

Thanks, not shooting it though. I have dedicated shooters for my K98ks and pistolwise it's a P.38.

What a fantastic rig! Yep, lots of Johan Mullers in the Vaterland.

What a very nice rig !
I'm partial to the Imperial era Lugers, and to see one with BOTH matching magazines is quite a treat.
