email me if interested, we could have your name, grandfathers name, etc and also that it was stolen...

Yes I did have my Grandfathers War Diary but unfortunately it was in a box with a number of other war trinkets including a couple handfuls of old foreign coins so of course they took the entire box. The coins are worth maybe $1......
I know he took it off an officer and the diary briefly mentions "a trophy" picked up at such and such but I don't recall exactly where.

Rest assured that if it shows up on this forum, it will be reported.
The serial number of your Luger includes the script letter that is under the
"9039" on the front of the frame. I can't exactly make it out, but the photo looks like the letter is a "w". If that's true, your Luger is serial "9039w" and the police department should be told that information.
Also, the serial numbers were repeated over the years. Therefore it's also significant that this serial is on a gun made in 1937.
I hope that they catch the thieves and that you get this restored to you.

I did include the "w" and I photograph all of my weapons and superimpose the make/model and serial number on the image. I gave print outs to the Deputies.
I guess the good news is the two scumbags were arrested and in jail 23 hours after the robbery. The court date for sucmbag #1 is June 20th. You can bet I'll be there!
The real sickening thing is all four firearms, my $1200 dive watch and roughly $2000 in miscellaneous stuff were all fenced for 8, count em 8 oxycodone pills. I f-in hate druggies
