What it means?

Frank look to the left of the forum, you can see the technical information, here you can find what the 63 means. (I'm running short of time, but wanted to help, at least a little).


More than likely your Luger is not silver plated but nickled? That was almost universally done after the war by a GI, it does ruin the collector value, and makes them worth anywhere from $350 - $500 or so.


Also, to find a bit of history, if you can check to see if it has matching numbers through out the gun, does it have markings on the toggle, etc. Something like S42 or 42 or DWM, etc.


Serial number under the barrel on the frame, might have something like 4356 and then have a small letter by it, a f or b or something?


hope that helps a bit,
