At this time, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. in New York was probably the largest retailer of outdoor sporting goods and equipment in the US. This scarce Luger has the early style short frame with the 1906 style grip safety, no stock lug and is correctly marked GELADEN on the extractor We have seen pistols of this quality selling upwards of $20,000 + (we've included a pic of an auciton for another one that sold for more than $21K) We are also including a reproduction 197 page Abercrombie & Fitch Co 1920 catalog reprinted and bound by Cornell Publications (specializes in vintage and antique gun catalogs and manuals) This fine & rare Luger from a private collection is being offered for the first time for sale at this amazingly attractive price Serial number 2860iXX SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes
