new guy needing help. Recently bought this luger and know nothing about it. Is it commercial? anyone know what year? I do know it looks like the barrel has been changed due to different serial number. Any history on this firearm would be grateful. I know nothing about lugers. Thanks |

It looks like it was an artillery Luger at some point and went into police service. Maybe the date was removed at that time, as it has a lot of military style numbering and military proofs on the upper receiver. Makes for an interesting shooter if nothing else. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum - it is interesting that the receiver had the date scrubbed off, because it started as a military pistol. After the war it went into police service, you can tell by the sear safety and the magazine safety (see the FAQ for further info on those).
