<strong>By the code markings I mean that the parts that I can see ( haven't taken the luger apart yet, and don't think it has been taken apart for quite a long time but have keep it oiled to prevent rusting)are marked 46. on the left side it is marked 2446.

The serial number and suffix letter will be on the front of the frame with the letter located under the numbers.
The "46" on the various small parts is the last two digits of the serial number and should appear on various small parts so that they are visable as you look over the pistol. Sideplate, take down lever, trigger bar, extractor, front toggle, rear toggle and safety bar should all display "46" on them. If you're lucky, the magazine base will have the serial number on it too. Many - most - will not match the pistol.
You have a genuine family heirloom and I hope you'll keep it as nice as it sounds to be. If you want to shoot a Luger, buy a shooter-grade Luger and have fun but leave the one you have for future generations. Just my opinion. BTW, welcome to the forum.
