Never shot 1938

[allkidd]

Recently, my dad passed away. One of his possessions is a 1938 or 39 Luger 9mm that has never been shot. My dad served in WW2 but I think that he bought this gun later in life.

He didn't talk about the gun much but I remember him saying that it was assigned to a NAZI security guard. Also, I beleive he said it was a 39 but it has 1938 on the top of it.

The numbering seems to be consistent as it has #5621 written on it in a couple places and 21 on most every part.

I know very little about Lugars but would like to learn a bit more about it. I've had it cleaned by a gunsmith but he didn't know much about old Lugars, except to say it is a really nice gun.

Actually, I would like to shoot it but hesitate until I find out a little more about the worth of the gun if I don't shoot it verse if I do. Not that it really matters because I don't want to sell the gun either way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated or, if anybody could point me in the right direction to find out some additional information.
