Understanding the Luger and its value/history

BDS · 07-22-2002, 10:39 PM

I am new to the ownership of Lugers, so go slow. I consider myself very lucky to have been given my late father in law Luger, which he brought back from Germany. As soon as I figure out how to post a picture on this site I will. In the mean time can you please help me out in some history, value, etc on this Luger? The holster is tan leather, and marked on the back Ã¢??Ken-Klager & Cie 1918 New-UlmÃ¢?Â The top of the Luger is marked Erfurt. The s/n is a 4 digit number and all of the parts are marked with the last two numbers of the s/n Ã¢??19Ã¢?Â. The finish is 99%, light wooden grips. Also, both clips are marked with the guns s/n on the bottom of the clip, which is wooden.
Thank you
Mark
