Get in contact with Bob Simpson in Galesburg and ask him if they have a record of how your Luger was acquired for import.

It's possible that he imported it for someone else also.

I've never seen the suffix letter stamped that way on the receiver left side. The die doesn't look like it's something someone in the military would have used in Germany. It's very possible that it was something done to comply with a foreign law that required a complete serial number on major parts of the pistol.

Congratulations on you Luger. It's an authentic part of WW-I history!

If you're going to shoot it, get a modern replacement magazine. The wooden ones will break if dropped, and sometimes when put under stress by loading...
