Nothing spectacular. Paid $500 for this puppy several months ago. All matching, no import marks, bore is ok, a little peppering inside though. Grips are repos, the originals are in bad shape. I asked the guy at the pawnshop I bought this Luger at about its history. It was sold to him by the son of an old US veteran who brought it back from Europe after WW2. The son was afraid his dad might hurt someone with it, because his mind was going. Looks like he carved the first letter of his last name with a bayonet on the right side of the frame. Maybe he won it in a card game or something. Does that little “H” make the pistol a shooter?
