Your gun never had a chamber date. Those recommending a recoil spring check are concerned that the spring was not replaced when switched from .30 to 9mm. This is hardly likely.
I would recommend a local gunsmith do this at this point, unless there is a knowledgeable site member near you who can help. Look up spring/caliber combinations in the search mode here on the site to learn more. Youtube has several decent videos on field stripping your gun. I agree with Jerry that your holster is a reproduction. |

thanks, i could not see how the chamber date could have been removed and it still look this good, i have fired it about 50 times with factory remington loads with out any problems, i fully field strip it and cleaned it when i first recieved it and to check it for any problems before firing it, i had no idea it had been a .30 being changed to 9mm. nor did i know anything about the recoil spring swap. the gun to me is very nice and i just would like to know as much about it as i can. the unit markings L. Hi.65 i am being told means weimar era,L aassigned to landiger (rural constabulary),Hi Hildesheim distric, .65 meaning item 65, what can anyone tell me about the proof marks anda appromate value for it, allso are the mag bottoms wood or resin, sorry for so many questions, but this is the first luger i have really considered as a keeper, again thanks every one for your help, regards Dan

the mag bottoms look to me to be wood, they are undated, but appear to be correct. i allso have a another mag that is alum bottom and numberd and maybe world war two, it works just fine but does stick out the butt of the gun further, i know it is not correct for this gun, but should it be a tad bit longer than the others? thanks
