Hello!

I Just bought my first Luger yesterday and would appreciate any help gathering information about the gun and its value.

As my digital camera drowned few weeks ago, I just have to describe it:

Manufactured 1911
Serial 7587 (no suffixes)
All parts (as far as I could determine, except magazine) matching
Some straw visible (about 10-20%, maybe bit more)
Some pitting on the left side of reciever (sideplate, takedown lever etc.)
Bore OK - no visible rust or pitting
Marking: serial and proof marks on all parts, eagle on top of barrel, three crowned letters and eagle on the right side of reciever, letter reminding D on forward part of front sight, odd mark reminding 8 on left of a grip, down near a screw.

Well, thats it shortly. I'm really out of my depth here and would appreciate it greatly if somebody would guide me on this one. My e-mail is mailto:bastion@jippii.fibastion@jippii.fi</a> , so drop me a note or post here in forum.
