Hiding for 65 years.

A member of my family who is into antiques found this in a vet estate. There was this pistol and a 1918 DWM. The family decided to keep the 1918.

Been looking for one of these for a long time.

Nice find. I specialize in collecting K-Dates.

What are the first 2 digits of the serial number?

Is the mag matching?

I have 2 matching mags for a K-Date but not the K-Date that matches the mags.

The SN is 4317 and the mag is period but not matching.

Thank you for the serial number. the last K-Date I added to my

collection was serial number 4618. That is pretty close to yours.

Beautiful, what a gem

Nice catch! These K dates are not found easily anymore.
I bet that the family decided to keep the 1918 Luger because "it is the oldest"
Congratulations,

Douglas
