Hi everyone, took the pistol to a gun show today looking for "the Luger guy" who frequents gun shows in NE Ohio. Found him. It was a great 30 minute history lesson on my pistol. First off, it's a Z something or another and has type 4 grips. The Luger guy is compiling a database of pistols, serial numbers, and grip types. He's seen 3 other pistols which were made around the time of mine with same type 4 grips. He took the pistol apart and confirmed everything matches. He said it's "almost" pristine and is around 95 percent. Where it's worn is where you want it to be warn. It's apparently been shot very little and the bore is excellent. He really enjoyed the capture papers and the story of how my grandfather obtained the pistol.
It was a great time and I really appreciate him looking at the pistol. He reads the forums so "Luger guy" thanks again for your time and expertise that you shared with me and my son today,
