41 (I think) Luger

Lopezlandauro,
welcome- please tell us where "down here" is!

Sorry to say but the "guy" was either mis-informed or lying. As explained above the
Luger you have is a Russian Capture , called "RC" for short.

I'm afraid that there is no way that an Italian Grandmother brought it in her stuff.

The Russians, having captured tens of thousands of Lugers, re-worked and re-blued and stored
them for possible future use. Over the last 20 or so years they have sold off stocks at several times.

Yours is typical of the mixture of parts resulting from the Russians "re-conditioning_ them.
