Today we picked a Luger from the vet who brought it back from WWII. From what I can tell through this site it is a military gun. The top is stamped "1920" (in addition to its numbers and other marks). I have read that this is called a "property" mark. My questions are: does this influence the value of the gun? Is this an uncommon or common thing? The only other mark besides the "DWM" is the four digit seriel number followed by a crown over an "N" and all the small parts being numbered in the last two digits of the big number and sort of a fancy "M" in a couple of places. We don't get too many of these and I want to know what to call it. Thanks for any help you can give me.
