A "K-date Luger" means that the place over the chamber where the manufacturing date is normally stamped is stamped with a capital "K"

Which is a code for a Mauser produced gun in I believe, 1935. (and I am pretty sure that "G"-dates are 1934, but someone who knows for sure about the year will be sure and jump in here and either verify my statement or correct me...

Guns coded in this manner are not as plentiful as other Lugers and hence command a somewhat higher price.
