Hi, Iâ??m new to the board and collecting Lugers. I recently obtained my first Luger from a local WWII vet for $500. The Vet stated he brought the pistol back from Germany after WWII.
After my initial review I believe it is a 20â??s commercial Luger but am not able to identify it further. It is all matching with about 75% strawing remaining. The are only a few markings on the pistol which are â??DWMâ?, â??GESICHERTâ?, and a few small crown N marks. The serial number is 74,4XX. The Luger has a 4â? barrel and I believe itâ??s chambered in 9mm. The pistol included a leather case, various tools, two magazines, and a leather lanyard. Inside the case is written â??F-3138â?. Let me know what you guys think.
