Need help identifying Luger. Please

creature7 · 10-02-2015, 02:56 AM

I'm in the process of liquidating my grandmother's estate for her. She's moved into assisted living and it is quite expensive. I was given(by him when he was alive) two of my grandfather's Lugers but she wants to sell this one. I'd buy it but I can't swing it. He fought through the Battle of the Bulge and brought back a bunch of stuff.

Anyway, I've spent some time researching and I think I've figured out all I can. I hate to pester you guys with this inquiry but I really need to get this done for her. We're trying to figure out any information regarding identification and value. I would greatly appreciate the help.

The info I have is that it's a S/42 with a serial of 6251. It has all matching serial numbers and all the strawing seems to be intact. I have a leather holster and two magazines. It has multiple Nazi markings on it. From what I could find out that means it's a 1937 Mauser made Luger.

Here are some pictures:

Again, we would greatly appreciate any information you guys could give us. Thanks
