help identifying my new luger

Hi Billy,

The pictures did post correctly.

The Eagle over 37 ( E/37) marking is the inspector's WaAmt acceptance stamp on the magazines. It is a WW-II era Haenel Schmeisser manufactured magazine.

Lugers are remarkable pistols. Now that you've shot yours, you have a feeling for the difference as compared to other designs.

We'd need sharper photographs to be of much help identifying things. Take them using indirect light (without flash) and use a tripod.

Cheers!

Marc
