hi there! this is my first post. i am glad you are all here to answer questions and share your expertise.
here is a picture of my luger. sorry for the bad pictures. it is barrel dated 1936, and s/42 on toggle. all other parts have matching numbers except the magazine. underneath the barrel is the serial number 1490 and in small numbers an 8 then smaller number 1, then 80 in the same size as the first 8. on the top side it has a small eagle with a 63 under it and on the other side a larger eagle. on the frame on the right side it has proof mark #45. Mauser military proof noted on "G" date and later dated Lugers. Right proof appears on barrel. appears fired little but show some holster wear. i dont know much else. the magazine is blued with aluminum bottom as pictured with serial number 2445.
my questions are 1) is there a registry of serial numbers to match magazines? someone have pistol 2445 and needs my mag for instance.
2) what do the symbols on the magazine mean? is this magazine "correct" other than the serial number for the time period os my pistol?
3) i know valus is almost impossible to acertain without personal inspection, but the bluing is original, non import marked, matching numbers is it worth at least $700?
thank you very much.
