Somoon, Herb is correct regarding the 8,82 or what ever it is. I have never seen a WWI Luger that didn't have the serial number along with the script suffix stamped in the barrel, just forward of the bore diameter number (8,82). I suspect it was rebarreled!!! Many WWI Lugers were reconditioned for use during WWII and some were rebarreled during this period. As Herb mentioned, look for some proof marks on the barrel. Photos would indeed help.
