Yes, it is a 1939 Mauser-made Luger.

The see-through plexiglass grips do detract from the collector value; however, this particular Luger has a family history to go with it too.

Once in a while a GI would install these see-through grips and put a picture of his wife or sweetheart under the grips.

The finish looks a little rough, so maybe it was not stored properly.

Since the finish is a little rough, and since it is missing its original grips, my tentative opinon would be that if you want to shoot it, that should be okay.

Question: What markings are on the toggle?
