I'm relatively new to this and am in awe of the weapons in this site.
I have an old Luger bought yrs. ago in a gun show and would really
appreciate some clarification of it's origin. The slide is stamped DWM. The serial # is 3439 and it appears in several places, incl. just 39 on the disassembly lever, so I guess it was made from one set of parts. The # 47 appears on the slide, perpend. to the DWM
logo, as well as several other places. On the chamber, right above the trigger is a symbol of a bird with a 6 under the wings. I found it in the listing as #33 in the descriptions. This symbol is stamped right below the # 74. Above the front of the trigger guard, right before the barrel starts, is the serial # again and a stamped symbol that resembles a sickle but I think it's a cursive letter "n".
On the aft end of the trigger guard, before the handle, is a numeric mark that didn't stamp well then right next to it is SAC. CA (tell me it's not Sacramento, Cal.!). Finally, on the fore end of the stock
is a bold S. followed by a slightly fainter Sta. I. then a smaller 291
If any of you could decipher all of this info and tell me what it means, aside from DWM which I know, it would be very useful and
educational for me. Thank you in advance for any help!
