Could anybody help me?
Dear Sirs,
It was a great pleasure for me finding this Luger forum, which I have recently joined.
I own a Swiss Luger that my father obtained in Buenos Aires from an officer of the Graff Spee at the end of the war.
Following yor Luger identification form, these are its characteristics:
1.Toggle inscription: DWM
2.Chamber inscription: Swiss Cross
3.Toggle knob type: Dished
4.Grip safety: present
5.Stock lug: not present
6.Caliber: 7.65 mm / .30 luger
7.Grip type: walnut, checkered
8.Thumb safety: safe in forward position
9.Has no markings, only serial numbers: 37198 is under the barrel; 98 is repited on the dismounting lever and the side plate on the left.
10.Barrel: 4 inches
11.Markings on left edge of extractor: none
12.Front and rear sights: fixed
13.Magazine bottom plug material and markings: has three magazines, two have wood bottom plugs and the other is in alluminium. No markings in anyone
The bluing is original and I would say is 98%. Working conditions are excellent too: I shoot about two boxes of Lapua FMJ bullets without a single jam and a nice grouping at 15 and 30 mts.
I know this is an early Luger, but I would like to get the probable year of manufacture. Also, I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me the approximate value, just as a curiosity, because I am not willing to sell it by the moment.
Please, find attached some pictures.
Thanking you in advance for your courtesy, I remain yours sincerely,
Dr. Carlos Prosperi
