Chris, it is LUGER not lugar

I have talked to police at least twice, explaining to them that the gun that came up as 'stolen' was likely NOT the gun that they were reregistering or checking was not that gun.

Reason is that lugers were made by four manufacturers, made in blocks of 10,000 (so there is a letter suffix) and made in different years.

So, your police report needs to say (as an example), Mauser marked toggle S/42, dated 1937, sn 9000 (ns ((no suffix) for it to actually be yours.
