Hello,

I am new to The P08 Luger, I have always wanted one but the cost was too high for my wallet. This Christmas my father gave me a luger that belonged to my little brother, we lost him to cancer three years ago, so this means so much to me. From the research I have done so far I believe this to be a pistol built by Mauser for the U.S. market, " 1908 type Mauser 42 suffix code L 1940 " One thing that confuses me is that all of the pics of commercial sale Lugers I have seen had Germany or made in Germany stamped on the frame somewhere, mine is stamped on the under side of the barrel. This Luger looks like it is in almost unfired condition there is no metal wear and the finish looks consistant everywhere even in the mag well and on the magazine other than at the top of the mag from inserting into the mag well. Any info on this pistol would be greatly appreciated. I couldnt fit all the pics, but the mag is stamped P08 - FXO and has one of the Nazi eagles with a 37 under it. Again any info would be great including a value although I will never sell this Luger.
