Ron - I'm not sure what you're saying here. You have a Martz luger with a serial number of 5745? Is that the production number or the serial number? Is it a baby luger? The production number should be on the frame under the trigger plate (sideplate) - usually in an oval.

That is the serial number. The number under the side plate is 136-12

Two things about this pic: There is the (Arrggg..) notorious grip chip below the safety lever. Came that way. Also, although the pic doesn't do it justice, the strawing has been redone and is gorgeous.
