Can you track down history of your Luger based on the serial number?

What is the "K" stamp at the bottom of the stock lug? Is this a VoPo gun marked for "kriminalpolzei" Criminal Investigation Service?

In the full size photo, the mark on the left receiver ear is clearly a partial stamped import mark "Germany".

So, to answer your valuation question. A refinish drops collector interest alot. So does an import marked Luger. Even all matching including magazine generally can't bring value up much in that condition, The damaged take down lever drops value too.

Assuming it functions properly without any issues, it should be worth $575-$675 as a shooter grade Luger.

Of course, actual value is what you'd obtain in an open market sale.
