1917 Luger Id help

Thantos · 07-28-2013, 04:22 PM

Hello All,
I am trying to gather as much correct information on this Luger I inherited from my father as I can. I have two and this is the first.

I have found that identifying a Luger correctly is not easy, as everyone seems to interpret thing a little differently. This will stay in the family and be passed down to my sons when the time comes.

Here is what I think I have, and please correct me if I am wrong, especially about the grade or value as I need these for insurance reasons.

Also can some one explain how to tell LP.08 from a P.08 or is there no difference in the term?

A WWI DWM Military:
Year:1917
Proofs :HSS
Serial#:3279
Cal:9mm Para.
Land Dia.:8,82
Grade:90%
Value:$1500.00

Thanks Gene
