Frank...
Thank You!
You are correct!! Yesterday I copied what I could see and a "mark" was rattling around in my head but passed it off. Early this morning the light bulb went off. I looked at my notes and it translates to an "X" according to the Technical Section/Markings/Suffix 1. I don't know why but I thought the suffix would show on the barrel.
That makes the s/n 7713X Does this now translate into something?

Even if this Luger doesn't pan out, I am that much wiser about them. Nothing like a "Hands On" education. I have now learned to some extent how to identify at least what Luger it is. Also to take ACCURATE notes about everything!!

Back in April, there was one at an auction that was missmatched, rebarreled with a barrel that had a Florida Importer's name on it and things obliterated by overstamping. I stayed far away from it only from what I had learned on here. It went for $500!

Again thank you all most kindly to take the time to reply!

Sincerely, Jack
