dutch luger

Joshua,

There is one thing to add to Ron's identification of your M-11 Luger. There is a 5-pointed star stamped above the chamber. This is the symbol of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (Indonesian Republican Army). This indicates that this pistol was captured and served in the fight for independence after WWII. Is the star stamped anywhere else?

Yours is a very excellent example of the Dutch Luger. I particularly like the inclusion of the canvas holster/pouch.

I have a few questions about your Luger. Are there markings on the inside of the grip panels? Is GS stamped on the pistol anywhere? What are the markings on the bottom of the barrel? Can you post a picture of them?

You might find interesting things in the discussion of a Vickers Luger in the "Early Lugers..." section.
