Hi Steve, welcome to the Luger Forum!
Your Luger was made in 1939 as the chamber mark indicates, by Mauser which the Code "42" indicates. Your pistol has a suffix letter located on the front of the frame below the number "1410". If you tell me what the suffix letter is, I can approximate the month it was made. The two eagle over 63 are inspection marks and the third eagle over swastika is a firing proof mark. These marks DO NOT mean and connection to a SS Group. |

I never had any, so it's just a WAG...(I mean, they all passed on before I was born)... Would he be a grandfather once removed??? :confused: Anyway...stevefxstc - Can you post some pics??? Is it in good condition??? |
He would be a great uncle .... Anyway sorry to get off topic.

Thanks for replys. The suffix letter is w. I will try to get photos when my wife can help with downloading them.To the others thanks for the lesson on family tree. And yes the gun is in great shape. I got it from my uncle after my grandpa passed away.I had heard of this gun but never got to see it. so I asked about it. My uncle told me that him and my cousin did not have the love for guns as myself. he said if I did not let it windup in a pawnshop I could have it.It great goes with my model 98 mauser that is chambered in 7.62x51.Anymore info would be great.
