First Luger?

You can not get 'up-to-speed' in such a short time

First, find out why a WW1 gun has nazi markings?

refurb?

Is it all matching

is it all original?

Price reasonable?

Is it what you want?

Welcome to the forum, and yes, lots of clear pictures can help us, help you

Thanks so much to all of you for the welcome to the forum. I live in western New York State in case there are members in that area who could help me.

Yes, even though I know next to nothing about Lugers, I was wondering about the "Nazi markings". Knowing the seller, I'm guessing there are no Nazi markings on the pistol. I think he thinks there should be Nazi markings on it and so assumes that whatever markings are on it are Nazi. Of course when I see it, that question will be answered. Also from the lousy picture I have, it appears that the barrel has a brighter blued finish than the receiver which appears to have more of a matte blue finish. The picture is of the left side and other than the serial # that is all I can tell from it.

Western NY state is a pretty big area...There are a couple of us hereabouts; Curly1 is one...

If you're across the street from me, I could walk over and take a look, but I'm pretty much a dummy...
