The only problem I have with Police and any data base they may have on stolen firearms is the suffix found on Luger pistols. Most people don't see the suffix as part of the serial number. They don't record it or report it. Consequently you MAY run into some confusion. "run" the serial to be sure it's clean, and take your chances..IF it were to show up with the serial AND suffix..OK but highly likely the serial number could be just a 4 digit and that could be wrong. I have a hunch that anyone who leaves a Luger behind didn't bother to record the serial number anywhere.

first, contact the previous owners of the house, and ask them if they are missing a FIREARM (or a weapon). IF they say they are missing an old Luger, do what's right. If they say no (or can't say what exactly they are missing), then it's finders/keepers. Good advice IMO Daniel!

David, So far no problems, excepting that blasted Artillery that likes to grow the white moldy stuff on the holster, which I have yet to treat as per Jerry's instructions. Thanks for the report!

Just be sure you follow instructions to the letter! I had a fellow collector "cover" an artillery with tin foil rather than leave it completely open/exposed , it trapped steam and boiled the holster to death. A valuable lesson learned at about $500.
