Fresh new Luger owner checking in

[Eugen]

I recently dropped by a small local gun store to check with the owner who is a friend of mine. Kidding me he said that my gun is here. Having just purchase a new Sig the day before, I joked back and asked just what gun he was talking about. He said "a German Luger" and went on to say that he just took it in for consignment sale. Out of curiosity I asked to see it. That is generally the mistake I make before I end up with another gun purchase. Sure enough once he handed it to me I fell in love with it. I know next to nothing about Lugers other than I have occasionally fantasied about owning one some day. That day is here. I bought it

Its a 1939 P08 and supposedly matching numbers with the military stamping, with one supposedly correct mag out of two. Tool is missing. It came with a holster but I am unsure if it is original, but has a P08 stamp on the back.

I am just at the beginning to do some research on this gun and learn more about Lugers in general. I plan to contact the prior owner to get what ever information I can about the gun.

I just discovered this forum. What an amazing honey hole of Luger information. I am so impressed with the data and knowledge here. I am excited to be a new member and about my new hobby and collection of ....one Luger.
