1913 Erfurt
 

Hi
This is my Luger from WW 1. I have owned this pistol since the mid 60s. I would like to know more about the history of this piece as well as the value in the market today. When I first bought it I used it some, but have not fired it in the last 20 years except I took it to the range about a month ago and put a box of ammo through it. The pistol worked as it should. The blue is better than it appears in the pictures as I lightened them so the markings would be easier to make out.
Thanks
Of course now I need to learn how to post pictures....

David, welcome to the forum. There is a thread or two on how to post pictures; the easiest way is to use the New Topic (for this same thread use ADD REPLY) and then ATTACH file. The biggest trick is t ensure photos are within a certain size.


Questions that can be answered without pictures;

Serial number and suffix?

Does it have a stock lug?

Does it have any stampings (unit marks) on the front of the frame (or anywhere else)?

Ed

pictures maybe

Unit mark is for the regimental staff of Infantry Regiment 177. Cool gun.

177 Regiment came out of Saxony.

Thanks!
 

Hi,

Thank you for welcoming me to the forum.

I forgot to mention that this is a complete matching number gun...even the grips. I had the original magazine, but it fell apart shortly after I bought the gun and the peices have been lost. Does anyone have any idea on the value of this pistol?

Thanks again..
