Ineed some help here guys. My grandfather brought back a Luger from WWII. I thought it was an artillery model but he always said it was a Luger rifle. I got a chance to get a look at it today and it has a 16" barrel with a wood fore end that runs the length of the barrel.

So it is much longer than a standard artillery Luger. I tried a google search and found a similar barrel for sale on gunbroker. I saw a few pics in the archive that looked similar but they just had the wood like a sporter fore end with checkering that didn't extend the full way. I didn't get any pics. No I am not the one who will inherit it buti think it is a great piece and wanted to learn more about it so I could let him know the value of it.
