Question Sharing & Questions - Family Luger

Just sharing some pictures of the Artillery Luger my grandfather brought back from Europe at the end of the Great War. He was brought down by machine gun fire while leading his platoon on an assault in the Meuse-Argonne with the 91st Division so I don't know if he picked this up before or after his hospitalization. Fun side note is that I was in the same 91st Division as an artillery officer some 50 years later.

It has always been in our family and I remember shooting it in the 1950's as a youngster. I have had it out only a few times in the last decade, taking it to a range near our home to let my son and close friends shoot it.

I would appreciate any comments, especially regarding the markings on it, that may let me know a bit more of its history. I also would like to hear opinions as to whether we should continue to get it out every couple of years to shoot it and how we should best preserve it (I do clean it and lube it but from the pictures I see some traces of rust so I must not be doing as good a job as I thought).

BTW - the numbers on all parts match, including the number on one of the magazines.

Thanks for any comments. John
