Robert,

Your photo doesn't show a pistol with a Mauser hump, and you wouldn't expect to find that on a 1929 pistol. The additional milling was introduced in the late 1930s.

Congratulations on what appears to be a very nice police Luger.

Please take some good sharp pictures taken in indirect sunlight (shaded, outdoors) and let us take a look at the finish and markings.

Odd that it's shooting that far high. What Ammo are you using? Be very careful not to use high velocity (+P or "Nato") grade ammo. Just normal 115gn White Box Winchester or equiv.

A modification to lower point of impact would involve installing a taller front sight, but that would (of course) destroy it's all matching status and collect ability... Of course, so would breaking a numbered part...

The problem may be hold related. Try a six o'clock hold (resting the bull's eye black area on top of the aligned sights) and be sure that you have a solid grip. The recoil of a Luger is different that that you'd feel on other pistols. It may be rocking up as it fires...

Marc
