Never shot 1938

Hi, Welcome to the forum.

I can just barely make out the detail in your photos. It looks like a matching Luger, but has some inconsistent markings. It is military marked, 1938 Mauser made in the "m" block. The "m" is part of the serial number, and a suffix. 5621m. A military accepted Luger should not have the Mauser barrel logo on the toggle.

It looks like there may be a Crown/U mark on the left side of the receiver above the serial number digits. If that is the case, this is likely a Russian Capture rework, and may have been refinished at that time.

Does the inside of the trigger plate have either a "36" or "37" stamped inside?

Are there import marks anywhere on the pistol? Does it have a large "X" stamped anywhere?

Marc
