Looking for education

Wayne,

I'm sorry to hear that you lost this heirloom.

Rest assured that if it shows up on this forum, it will be reported.

The serial number of your Luger includes the script letter that is under the
"9039" on the front of the frame. I can't exactly make it out, but the photo looks like the letter is a "w". If that's true, your Luger is serial "9039w" and the police department should be told that information.

Also, the serial numbers were repeated over the years. Therefore it's also significant that this serial is on a gun made in 1937.

I hope that they catch the thieves and that you get this restored to you.

Marc
