Sneak questions
hey guys. I got my first luger a few weeks ago as a gift from my father. I have been trying to date this thing since. This site is a great tool and has taught me a lot since. here is my question and what I think i have. It is serial number 5199, it has a U stamp on the barrel and on the front receiver, it has a blank toggle and no date stamp. All the internal numbers match (99). I believe it is original blueing. the magazine is not matching however period correct (4423). The second proof mark along top has WaA66 under the eagle. it also has a period correct holster with no numbers or stamps. I think this is a "sneak" (based on lots of reading posts around this site). now to the questions. It also has L.D.134 stamped on the front of the grip strap. Does anyone know what unit this was? As far as age when do think this was manufactured? I also figured it was a Mauser based on reading other posts on this topic. I will try to post some pics and see what you guys think. Also around what do you guys think its worth? I plan on shooting and enjoying this piece of history just wondering what I have.
