Let me know if you can't find a firing pin. I have a extra one I can sell.

Model 1914 Pistol / Re: 1914 will not fire
« on: October 07, 2015, 07:40:35 PM »
I have only had to hand fit the one replacement firing pin. I would say that in most cases if the parts are original the problem that is most encountered would be the legs on the firing pin are worn down to much or the spring weakened. If it was me I would try to hand fit the parts that you currently have. Do you think that the firing pin is a factory original or repro?

Once I get home from work I will try to remember to take photos of a spare I have. I have in the past bought parts lots, kept the best parts for me and sold off the rest. So I am pretty sure I have one at the house I can photograph

I know the drop is not very large in order to release the firing pin but I've never measured it so I can't say for sure. I think before I took it to someone I would keep a eye out on eBay and gunbroker for a trigger bar, they come up time to time. if you think that is part of the problem. What's the worse that can happen if you replace it on your own? But then again I enjoy tinkering and am willing to accept the risk that comes with it.

I don't believe the firing pin was ever numbered but I could be wrong. Here is a photo out of a 7.65 firing pin

I would closely examine the firing pin. If its a replacement firing pin it might need to be fitted to the pistol. At one point in time I bought a repro firing pin for a 1910 and it required alot of fitting before it worked 100%. I have also bought parts lots and would try out the various parts in multiple pistols beofre selling so I could be precise in my descriptions. Most firing pins would work in whatever pistol they were placed in but some would only work in a specific pistol and not Work in others

Model 1914 Pistol / Unit mark legit?
« on: September 22, 2015, 08:46:21 PM »
This gun is on gunbroker and I freely admit I do not know much about unit marks. However with it being a poor photo doesn't help but it looks to fresh to me. Any other opinions out there?

I believe I saw this In a thread before but I can't remember what the consensus was to its meaning, I can't remember if if it was on this forum or the luger gun board. It is on a 1914 in the 230k serial range on gunbroker. The pistol has been on auto relist and hasn't sold

In answer to your earlier question about the slide bite on your hand I have fired several of mine and never had that happen. I would say its quite likely your hand size

Vlim, that's some cool info on the application of the eagle. Learn something new everyday, or at least try to.

Jim, I would encourage you to try it yourself. In similar situations I will take a functioning gun similar to the problem one and slowly disassemble it and observe how it should look to compare it to the other.
