Needing info on P08 luger

Hi Ron, Welcome to the forum! The full serial number of your gun is 733h, which appears on the front of the frame. As Jerry has told you, it has been refinished and re-gripped and is now of no interest to collectors. However, it will make a handsome shooter and we expect you will have a lot of fun with it. Regards, Norm

Part of me likes that it isn't worth a lot so I can go shoot it now. But part of me wanted Adoft to have owned it.

That is ok though. But I am interested on how you knew it had been reblued since my pictures really aren't that clear. ( I do believe you though ) I can see how you knew it had non factory grips. I have the hoster as well. So it will be a great conversation piece as well as hopefully a good shooter. The books I have read says the 42 was made on or before 1940 how come it has such a low serial number? to be made in 1940? Sorry for all the questions. I really like this gun and might be very interested in getting more of them. So the more info I know the better. Thanks.
