An original artillery Luger in very good condition
can have great monetary value. I would suggest
getting at least two expert opinions. I would search gunsmith catagories on this website and publications such as Shotgun News for springs and services. Given the potential value of this gun,
I would not attempt any repairs on my own.

Please go to lugerforum.com, click on "message board" and enter your information in the "new collectors" section. This is one of the most friendly Luger forums you will find. You will want to check there to see what it is you actually have BEFORE you do anything.

What is the story behind the Luger in a box?

thanks for the info. gentlemen i already had a positive identification of this particular luger, and it is not is very good condition, it is going to have to be totally rebuilt, so hence the collector value is going to greatly reduced, but that in it self does not deter me from wanting find the proper parts to do the job and again thanks for pointing me in the right direction.steve

dookiebutt, A man walked into my gunshop and handed me a box with the gun in it and said that his son had found it in an old house and then proceded to take it competely apart and then the son left home and he no longer wanted it so i now have it and want to put it back into proper working condition. steve

Go to numrich. They'll have the springs.

Your Luger is not worth anything, it would be best to ship it strait to me.

I wish I found a artillery Luger in some House, why am I never that lucky?

Good luck on fixing it up man.
