Default New to Lugers

Hi Everyone,

My Dad gave me his Luger that he got in Germany or (France?) during WW2. He is alive and well. I'm begining to reserch it. It's a DWM, all nembers match except the clip. I'm not a gun expert, infact I've never even fired a gun. It is in nice shape, but not mint. Also has a hoster in nice shape too. No tears or defects. Stitching good.

I'm trying to find out what I can about it. Year made, value and anything else of historical interest. I have no plans of selling it or firing it.

I'm having problems finding marks for the year and other information. I partily took it apart, found a letters and or numbers "inside" The paper I wrote them down went AWOL. The next time I disasemble it I need to look some other places as well.

I will be looking in this forum and elsewhere for information.

My area of expertise are Corvairs. I also made a grandfather type clock which I made the gears and movement out of wood. Runs and keeps good time.
