I made it so you would be notified. Welcome to the forum

Its preferred if you post pictures here

It doesn't have the right info - close up of under the barrel - serial number
it is likely 30 Luger (7.65mm luger) as it was meant for the US market, as it is marked Germany
Magazine looks like it is a WW2 mag?
Crown N on the left?
Looks in nice shape, although its a shooter, as the stock lug was ground off. At first I was trying to figure out why the color looked funny. Ask if your grandfather did that, or bought it that way. during the 60's, people were told that if you attached a stock it was a "short barreled rifle" and so people ground the stock lugs off

Value, around $600 for a 30 luger - if it was 9mm luger then $800 max
