ID'ing a Luger...What do I have?

Edward Tinker · 03-10-2014, 10:47 AM

wow, well, Italian values and USA values aren't even close - keep in mind that 9mm is not allowed, so 7.65mm are desirable.

Is it marked 'made in germany' or germany anywhere?

Crown N marked?

It is 'possible' it was a officer owned luger that went into war as 7.65mm was not the military round but was used. The suffix looks like 'k' so mid 1920's...

pictures are not the best (no offense) - I would say value is (low) $800 to likely $1100 (perhaps a bit more)- depending on if matching correctly (commercial guns are numbered, but in fewer areas). Condition looks good, but better lighting would help.
