Luger ID

Tom,

From your description it appears that you have a 1920's era commercial Luger. The 808 would be the serial number and the figure you described would be the letter suffix of the serial number. The letter suffix on these pistols began with the letter i and went into the late u or early v range. The caliber is .30 Luger or 7.65mm Luger from your description. The magazine sounds like a later aftermarket magazine, and the original would have been an unmarked wood bottom magazine. You did alright at $400 as I would estimate the value in the $550/650 range.
