Hi, Great website! This is my first post about my first Luger. I have looked at every picture and read all the information provided here. But I am still having problems dating my recent purchase. Any help would be great! I have downloaded the Identification form and completed the form. 7.65 30 cal. Toggle Ins. is DWM but also has a horizonal crown N on the side of toggle {photo 5} where the white arrow is pointing, takes a magnifing glass to see and still not to plain. The Vertical crown N is also located on the left side {photo 5}. No grip safty. Does have the stock lug. The serial number is 1977 located on barrel and above trigger guard with a letter which looks like an {k} beneath the 1977. I tried to take a photo of this but no luck. The number 77 is located on all other parts that I see without breaking down the gun. Measuring the barrel from forward end of extractor to muzzle I get 3 3/4" or a little shorter but not 4". Magazine bottom is wood but I find no number anywhere on it. Grips are checkered wood. I believe that the gun has been reblued. That's about it for the description. I paid $425 and I would love to know it's value.
