Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/4 scale German P-08 Luger made of 18 Karat white gold by master jeweler & miniaturist Alex Baez in Los Angeles, California. 2 3/32″ long overall with a 1 1/16″ barrel of .072 caliber. All parts of this miniature are made of white gold with the exception of the springs. Weight is .9 ounces, so there is .675 ounces of pure gold, over $800.00 worth. Fully functional, but of course non-firing. I do not recommend that you cycle the action or work the moving parts very much as the parts, being gold, will wear much faster than steel. No markings. The grips, the knob of the takedown lever, the magazine release, and the outside edges of the bolt toggles are checkered. The end of the safety lever is serrated. Includes six original Baez solid brass dummy cartridges which when loaded into the magazine will feed, chamber, extract, & eject when the action is cycled manually. Also includes a non-original cheap Lucite topped black leatherette jewelry box for display & protection (not pictured). Functional safety. Alex made several of these in yellow gold, but I know of only this one, and maybe one other, that he made in white gold. It has been many years since I have had the pleasure to be able to offer one of these for sale. A really beautiful piece, and one the best miniatures Alex ever made as far as quality and complexity. Stock # MA-1. !!!!SOLD!!!!!
