As I see no suffix on the front of the frame, this would have been a first run 1937.

Welcome to the forum, and Congrats on your first Luger. Before taking it to the range, I would break it down for a good cleaning and lube. Lugers like things to be lubed, especially the toggle train to receiver interface and the toggle knuckles. Let us know how things worked out for you and your "new" Luger.

Interesting. The small parts are not strawed, and the "hump" appears on the frame. One would expect an example from the 1937 first block to have strawed parts...made just before the transition to all salt blue? But now the pic showing the finish leads me to believe that it was refinished, as I notice a dullness overall.
