Hello
My nameis Jon I am from Wilmington DE I am always on gunforums.com if any of you are there u may know me. I am new to the forum, and new to the "gun world" in general. Since i've started getting involved I try to go every weekend bringing new friends down to the range to either shoot handguns, or do some skeet/trap shooting. I own a few guns, the only one I guess that is important at the moment Is a German Luger my grandfather brought back from WWII. He brought it back with several different Knives, giant flags/banners, arm bands etc... The luger itself (will upload pictures) I'm trying to find what year it was produced, because I find it amazing that a pistol as old as this shoots as well as it does at the range. Its probably my favorite gun to shoot, for a few reasons, one being it has history behind it, second being its one of the few things I have to remember my grandfather by. Listed below are all of the markings I found on the gun the following identifying markings The serial number under the barrell is 4996 (with what looks like a cursive A under it) On the rear of the gun is 96 (last 2 digits of serial) as is the 96 on several parts when I broke down the gun. So I know matching serial numbers is an important part On the top of the toggle is DWM There is also a TCS marking (in funny letters) right above the lever you pull down to take apart the gun. Then on the underside of the grip where clip goes in, on the metal part underneath there is 25.R.5.4. I'm going to try to get pictures of these markings but its hard because the auto flash I cannot turn off on my camera and reflects on the metal making it hard to see.. You'll notice in the pic, again someone told me this, that it looked like my grandpop painted the grip when he brought it back, I was told to eithe 1)leave it like that 2) try to strip the paint 3) buy a new grip I don't plan on selling it, so i'll take suggestions on that as well, i'd like to buy a new grip for it |
