It really is a 1938, I know that much...what make I do not know and I ask my brother to bring it to my dads on Christmas so I can get some new pics and I will post them here in the next couple days.
Ya know this story really could be a whole new thread.
When I was a young guy, may Dad bought a P-38 from a down and out WWII vet and that was the first pistol I had ever fired. When I was stationed in Cherry Point NC in 1969, I took that P-38 with me and had it in my locker, It is a wonder I am not still in jail. My dad traded that p-38 for a 1100 shotgun years later...I still cry..but I did buy a P-1 to compensate!

Guys, let me get the pictures together and my story. I will start a thread showing the whole history of this Luger with all the family history. One thing I have to say it that my uncle always told me "You to could have been a Man": this to me who was a Marine in 1968.. He never forgave me for not going Airborne. BUT he was the first one to buy me a beer when I came home. His name was Max and I loved him.

Take care and Merry Christmas!!
