C96 / C12 Broomhandle / 99% C-96 never fired after proof testing
« on: December 16, 2017, 11:49:27 PM »
Well, I hope this works. I am totally computer stupid and this forum is totally different from what I am used to. I don't know how to post pics here. Somebody help me!!!
Three years ago, I bought a C-96 with matching wooden stock, from a man with cancer. The pistol is very highly conditioned, 99% at least. It only has one real issue, the lanyard loop is missing. After being examined by two experts, one at the R.I.A. Company and the other being Mr, Simpson, the Luger Expert at Simpsons Ltd in Galesburg Illinois (Who also knows a thing or two about C-96s ) both entities concluded the pistol was never fired after proofing. The entire inside of the gun is coated with brown grease. The exterior of the gun is clean. I want to post some pics but this forum looks totally different from my other forums.
