Interesting luger. Hard to tell from the photo the chamber date. With a code 42 toggle, I would guess 41 since it has a PO8 marked frame. I don't see any DDR marking on the pistol itself, except perhaps the "O" markng on the receiver aft of the serial #. The E/623 under the barrel is Steyr inspector's WaA seen on many Armour's spare barrels, so would guess that this one has been rebarreled, perhaps during WW2 or if later, just to do away with DDR &/or importer's markings. Your grips are WW2 Mauser production, but from different PO8s. Your magazine is of post WW2 DDR production, probably numbered to this pistol during rework. TH

Thanks for the info!
What do you make of the holster?

I took the Luger out to the range yesterday. She worked like a charm! The barrel cleaned up and was shiny with strong rifling. I recovered one bullet and it had deep groves scribed into the copper.:cheers:

Any opinions on the holster?

I really appreciate the input you guys have given me.
