Hi guys, I've recently inherited my father-in-law Luger. From what I've been able to identify from the Tech. section. Its a Military Mauser (byf) serial #4558 (proofs 46) The barrel is stamped with a 41, Is that the production year ? What's the 8.82 below the ser# under the barrel ? On the front of the fram, just below the Ser# is what looks like a small cursive "r" All numbers match -except for the side plate. It has some pitting and has 237 stamped on it's bottom. Is this a replaced piece? Father-in-law was a COP and loved this gun. He carried it as his off duty weapon. Any help with it's history is appreciated.
