Identifying a luger

[Mac Cat]

Fascinating box to check out!
A cleaning rod, old ammo and a rifle oiler.
I don't think luger tools were marked for commercial pistols.

I think the luger is an Alphabet Luger - post WW-1 military converted to commercial.
It has no grip safety and no chamber marking.
It was originally a military P.08 luger, with a stock lug and numbered small parts.
It retains a little of the original straw color on the small parts, too.
You can get more true colors photographing outdoors with indirect sunlight.

Serial number 1985m would put it in the 1923-24 time frame
It marked for export with the GERMANY stamp over the front frame.

The grips are in good shape, but the barrel looks messy - might just be old oil and dust.
The rear toggle link is numbered, but dented and scared, but it looks pretty good overall.

The chart below was published by Jan C Still, in Weimar Lugers (page 15). That would a good reference book to start with.

Did you buy this kit ?
