New to Lugers

[corvair]

Hi Everyone,

My Dad gave me his Luger that he got in Germany or (France?) during WW2. He is alive and well. I'm begining to reserch it. It's a DWM, all nembers match except the clip. I'm not a gun expert, infact I've never even fired a gun. It is in nice shape, but not mint. Also has a hoster in nice shape too. No tears or defects. Stitching good.

I'm trying to find out what I can about it. Year made, value and anything else of historical interest. I have no plans of selling it or firing it.

I'm having problems finding marks for the year and other information. I partily took it apart, found a letters and or numbers "inside" The paper I wrote them down went AWOL. The next time I disasemble it I need to look some other places as well.

I will be looking in this forum and elsewhere for information.

My area of expertise are Corvairs. I also made a grandfather type clock which I made the gears and movement out of wood. Runs and keeps good time.
