I.D. and Approx Value of Luger

borko · 05-09-2005, 03:31 PM

Hi All!!
I recently inherited a Luger from my Father-In-Law. He obtained the Luger as a gift from his brother who was in Holland serving with the U.S. Army in WWII at the time he received it. I do not know the exact yr. he received it or if his Brother hand carried it back or shipped it. His brother is also deceased, so addl. details can not be obtained. I think the grips are made of some type of plastic. One side has my Father-In-Law's name and the other side has "GERMANY 1945". Prior to his passing my Father-In-Law did tell me that he also had the original grips, however I have not located them to date. A couple of basic weapon photo's:

I have done some amateur research and suspect that this Luger is made up with a ERFURT frame and possibly a MAUSER Receiver & Barrel This Luger has a serial # only on the Frame. The number is 9135 with a 1 directly centered below the 9135. All of the small part in the Frame & Receiver are stamped 35. The bottom of the Barrel does not have a serial # only a small stamped S/42. The side of the receiver where I think the serial # normally is has a small stamped "42". The Chamber is dated "1939". Also, the bottom of the Receiver/Barrel has the witness mark only on the Receiver, none on the Barrel. Photo's follow:

The clip is a fXO with a bakelite or plastic bottom closure that has the left side knob broken off. No serial # on clip. Only 1 clip.

THANK FOR ANY HELP/INFO ANYONE MAY PROVIDE!!!
