Hello everyone! I found this site while doing research on the Luger I inherited from my grandfather. I was finally able to get it from where it was being stored and of course wanted to find out as much about it as possible. Using your website, I have determined the following.

It is a 9mm Luger manufactured in 1939 with all matching serial numbers (5531 Lot Y). It has a "42" for the manufacturer mark (Mauser Luger) and has several of the "stick iron eagles" with the number 655 underneath them. I also have the original holster, adjustment tool, and two magazines for it. One has matching serial numbers with the pistol and the other unfortunately has a different set of numbers. Overall I'd conservatively estimate that the pistol probably has 85-90% of the original bluing, but that is just based on the rub marks that I can see on it. It may be more, it may be less. Oh and no rust. My grandfather took very good care of this pistol and now it is up to me to do the same.
