Hi Tony,

You've got a Mauser manufactured Luger that was made in 1940 for the Nazi military in Germany.

If "1211" appears over the "h" on the front of the frame, that is the full serial number. "1211h".

The picture shows a Luger in very high finish, but the flash makes it difficult to judge the finish as being original or a re-blue.

You're in the UK. Is the pistol deactivated?

The magazine looks contemporary with the pistol. It's likely manufactured by Haenel, and has the letters "fxo" on it. Does the serial number on the bottom of the magazine match the gun?

What would you like to know about your Luger?

Marc

Hi Mark
Thanks for the reply, I will try to get a better picture up when time allows. I do not belive it has been reblued, as to operation full as far as I can tell ?. what can I do to rectifie that ? the Mag is plain silver in colour, there are no other markings other than the serial number on the bottom which does not match the frame.
The history of the gun as I know it is that my father in law swaped it with a fellow service man while in germany and brought it back home afte he finish his service and it has been here since. The guy he traded with apperantly got it from a deceased german service man. and it has been stored ever since as far as I am aware.

Regards Tony.
