My great uncle brought back a number of souvenirs from WW2, including an Iron Cross (Second Class), an Honour Cross and a Veteran's Breast Eagle pin. All of which would indicate an German soldier that had fought in WW1, also serving in WW2. I think the Luger may have also been this soldiers weapon in WW1. It is a commercial model, early edition. Inside the magazine well, there is a "Prv", and I have read that may indicate a a series of commercial Lugers purchased by Germany for resale to officers. There is also a picture of a woman in the grip, and I am not sure if it is my great aunt Ludie May, or if it was the sweetheart of the original owner of this Luger. It was all in a nice shadow box, but I have removed the Luger to place it in a more secure place and not hanging on my wall.

Any pointers on how to definitively the date for this Luger, or clues on it's value, would be appreciated.
