Thanks to all for the all of this information.

It is very difficult for the beginner to understand Luger markings and background. I am surprised that there are machine milling marks above the safety lever. I would have thought that the finish would have been of higher quality at this time of manufacture. And where on the safety lever should it be numbered?

The take down lever isn't numbered and doesn't have a straw finish--a disappointment. And I suspect the pistol has been reblued---some of the frame has a red tint to the blue and other parts--don't--the grip straps are without the red tint.

Thanks again. I found some 7.65mm luger ammo and will take it to the range. I have owned the Luger since 1985 and have never shot it.
