Need help identifying/valuing

inheritedLuger · 04-08-2010, 02:26 AM

My father recently passed, and left me a Luger. (I'm a total novice to pistols) I've searched on the web for info, but it's a bit overwhelming. This is what I know so far:

DMW on center toggle link

Crown with capital "N" under it: upright on left side of barrel extension, sideways on left side of breech block, and again on underside of barrel

"9403" underside of barrel below crown N stamp and again front of frame

03 appears on several smaller visible parts (I haven't broken it down yet)

Grip has a capital M over an anchor (which is why I'm assuming this was a naval firearm), and "N.339" below that

I have the original documents granting ownership of pistol to WWII vet dated FEB 12 - 46

I'd like to know manufacturing date and any detailed description if possible, as well as an approx value (or range at least)

I'll try to attach scans

Thanks in advance
