Hello,

I was just given my grandfathers Luger, and was interested in the history behind it. I used the technical information link and it appears to have the DWM military Proofs. On the top of the weapon it has 1918 stamped. Does this indicate the Year of production? The serial number is 313 and there are 13s' on all the other parts. However the Magazine does not match. The Weapon has no visable rust, but the strawing has faded some. The grips are dark outside but lighter on the back. I have no interest in selling this weapon. I am however interested in what I should do to show the proper respect to it? It was not touched for decades, It remained on a closet shelf in the hard case leather holster. The holster is also in very good condition and has a very small German eagle with swastika stamped on the backside.

Thanks,
