Pedro Jose, congratulations on your Luger and welcome to the forum.

it is always wonderful to know the history of a firearm, but sometimes this is lost as it is bought and sold. As you have owned it for 5-6 years, it is understandable if you cannot locate the original owner through the friend that sold it to you.

Since you have it with one of the original magazines, it is more likely that it was used away from groups of German soldiers. This is because it was very common for them to exchange magazines, which accounts for not finding so many with matching magazines.

It would be good to live where a trusted citizen could have their own sub-machine gun for personal defense. That seems to make sense!!!

Please let us know more of your Luger's history as you discover it...

Marc
