new guy needing help. Recently bought this luger and know nothing about it. Is it commercial? anyone know what year? I do know it looks like the barrel has been changed due to different serial number. Any history on this firearm would be grateful. I know nothing about lugers. Thanks

It looks like it was an artillery Luger at some point and went into police service. Maybe the date was removed at that time, as it has a lot of military style numbering and military proofs on the upper receiver. Makes for an interesting shooter if nothing else. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum - it is interesting that the receiver had the date scrubbed off, because it started as a military pistol. After the war it went into police service, you can tell by the sear safety and the magazine safety (see the FAQ for further info on those).
