My father also brought home a Luger from WWII. It has quietly resided in his old house for 65 years and now it's time it moves on. As I have always loved this gun I will probably keep it but will need to know it's value in order to settle things. From reading the other posts I understand all #'s need to identified in order to get a real value.
At this time I don't know if the #'s match but for the sake of argument will assume they are. I do know that "H. P. 197" is stamped onto the gun is two places and also onto the Holster. The numbers "7224" are stamped on the barrel and the magazine.
I have these two photos of the gun, not great but after reading the other posts I couldn't wait till I got any better ones.
I guess I need to know what is the best way to find the guns worth and also does anybody know what the stampings mean?
Thanks for your time. Bruce
