A nice heirloom war trophy Luger... I wouldn't blame you for not selling it... It is a piece of history.
It would take a lot of work in research on your part, but you can investigate actual reports on the battle of the bulge and it could be determined with some certainty which German units were fighting in Norville on that date. Then you would at least have some idea which German unit lost that Luger... I am sure that if any of the battle historians on this website know which German units were present you will get an easy answer here... and save you a lot of work. Rich, which American unit did your father fight with at that time. My father was in the 39th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division and also fought in that area around the same time.
