That'a a very good WW-II Luger!

If you can get the story about how it came to the US, it would be more interesting.
Any accessories and sometimes, the "bring back papers".
The US soldiers would register the gun to bring to back to the US.
Those forms are very collectable and make the gun more valuable.

If you choose to sell it, give the buyer 3-5 days to inspect it without firing it.
And you should be prepared to take it back if it has issues.

My concern is that it looks like it's been re-blued.
The parts which should be a straw color are not (trigger, safety, springs).
If that's true, it hurts the collector value, but it's still a very good looking Luger !

Good photos ! Thanks for sharing your find.
