Questions for a new Luger owner

Hi! Welcome! Can you provide a clear picture of the unit markings you are asking about on the front gripstrap?

I have already been told this has been re-blued, but I was also told to check out this site and find out what Ya'll think! A little back story...my dad gave me this gun in July...he got it at a gun show in Ohio for $825. I have always been fascinated by lugers (I'm of German decent) and this is the first I've owned and am trying to learn as much as I can about it. It is kind of a "project" me and my dad have to bond again on...!

I will take some better pics and post them to hopefully answer any question ya'll may have.

My goal is to shoot this off a couple time a year when dad is in town, and then store it for a while. He's mid 70's and I', early 40's...

I have just been curious to its history and want to respect that, and keep it in good condition for the next generation to enjoy!! Phil
