on a Luger that was brought back from WW2 by my brother's father-in-law. It has a six-inch bbl. as measured from the face of the breech block. It is all blue finish with only about a half inch wear at the muzzle on the left side. The only part not blue is on the right side of the toggle on what I think is the extractor. The SN on the frame is 52xx. The gun has a grip safety and the rear sight can be extended back to 200 Meters. On the rear of the grip under the grip safety, the letters WW are stamped and the number27xx is below that. The grip frame is cut for a shoulder stock. On the left side of the gun the takedown lever is stamped with a crown and the number 18.The grips are wood with fine checkering. The gun is 9mm caliber. There are no rustspots or pitting anywhere. The blue finish is bright with some slight plumb color on left side of frame that only shows in direct sunlight. There are three marks on the left side of the gun above the takedown lever that,left to right,are a crown standing alone,and two crowns atop Capital M's.
I don't collect lugers and never could claim but small knowledge about them. It is my hope that someone on this site can help me learn a bit more on this particular luger.
Thanks,Ed
