Hey I just wanna say thanks for taking the time for this discussion. It's very interesting to learn about this historical gun.
I haven't really decided whether to keep or sell this family heirloom, but what do you think it might be worth if it is the Weimar era model?
On a side note, I spent a year working as an English teacher in Suhl back in the early 1990s. I always heard about the great gun-making tradition there. Indeed, the local gun museum was a delight.
By the way, I do German-English translation if you ever need any historical items translated:

I'm very intrigued by this Luger that fell in my lap. Thanks again for the help...
