If your grandfather acquired his Luger during action in the European War Theater during military service, consider getting in touch with Edward Tinker on this board. He collects stories of War trophy "bring backs".

If he acquired it when in the service, you may also find papers that authorized him to return to the USA with his war trophy. If you locate these, keep them safe as part of the history of your Luger.
