Greetings, I would like to show the forum my first Luger! I am very excited to have finally joined the club!
What I know so far is it is a 1918 Erfurt, with the 1920 property stamp. It is all matching except the mag, and has what I believe are police unit markings that I would love for someone to help me decipher!
S/n: 6857
mag: 7924 aluminum base with eagle/63, blued finish
I see "RC" stamps on the side of the receiver and barrel which I believe means the gun was sent back to the factory for reconditioning at some point.
Also has the artillery notch which I think all Erfurts in 1918 were required to have.
If anyone would like to give me an appraisal on the gun I would be very happy... of course I do not plan on selling it but I would like to know how good of a "deal" I really got!
Here are the pictures:
Marking on front of trigger guard:
Marking above stock lug:
Markings on front grip strap:
Marking on bottom of mag:
Is this a ww2 mag?
And finally, the headstamp from a round of supposed ww2 German ammo I bought for display. Can anyone Id the maker?
Thanks for looking, and please feel free to make any comments/ or observations about my Luger as I would love to learn as much as possible! I can also take as many pictures of whatever part of the gun if you would like to see more!
CHRISTIAN
