Hi all. I just joined the group today.
I have a Luger that belongs to a friend and we were needing to find out if it is an item worth getting appraised. I have looked at a number of Luger websites and a great deal of electronic ink is spent on proof marks anad what they denote. This handgun has no such marking on it whatsoever. It has matching serial numbers on the underside of the barrel and above and in front of the trigger guard on the frame. The serial number is a three digit number in the low 100's. I read elsewhere that German Lugers all had four digits or more in their serials.
So, is it real and worth getting appraised?
Where else should I look on or in the pistol for identifying information?
Should I lock it in a bank vault or use it for a doorstop?
I will appreciate any and all responses.
Thank you.
