Luger ID .30 cal or 9mm

If this Luger is an alphabet(commercial) Luger, as it appears, it will most likely be in 7.65P/30 Luger caliber, unless it has has a bbl. change. Can you give us a photo of the underside of the bbl. near the bbl. extension where the serial numbers are located?? That will help a lot.

I can't get a picture as the guns is at home and I am in the office. Here is the picture from the seller.

Thank you for the photo, but it does not offer me the info that is needed to see if the bbl. is original, and serial #, a 9mm bbl. with the bore dimensions stamped on the bbl., or a replacement bbl.

It appears that this Luger has commercial parts, and also some military parts, making it a "mixed" Luger. Better photos would help a lot. See the FAQ sections on what to photograph for accurate identification of your Luger.

As noted above, a measurement of the muzzle will tell you what caliber it is.

Sorry about those horrible pictures. I will take some better ones. I did not realize my muzzle pics did not upload. Apparently they are too large.
