Hello
I found this forum when I was searching for info about a 9mm Luger P08, and hopefully someone here may help me.
I got a old luger from my husbands family. This is a luger that was used under ww2. I do know this is not a fake gun.
The strange thing is that most of the numbers is filed away, at least it seems like that. The only thing thats left is the DKM logo and a number 1940. The gun looks in good shape and it is probably reblued over whatever is filed off. I had to look very closely to be able to see that this was done.
However I did manage to find some numbers but can not make any sense of it. 1361 is what I could find, and some places the number 44.
The gun is registered today with the serial number P08
This gun has hardly not been used since ww2.
I do know who used it and some history, but do not understand why the numbers are gone. Why did thet do that under ww2?
This particular gun was used by a high rank norwegian who joined the german side in the war, I dont understand the need for a umarked gun for such a person?
Anyone who may enlighten me please
Is there anyone who might bother help how to figure out what kind of gun this is, when it is made and such?
I have to admit I do not know much about Luger, -or guns at all.
Value is not as important to me, as this would never be sold, but it would be fun to know more about the gun.
I will post some pictures as soon as possible
Sorry for my english as it is not my native language, Im from Norway.
