Boy am I ever glad I found this Luger site/forum. I learned a lot and thank you all much for the replys.
I found some notes dad made about this and the other Lugers. We bought 5 lugers, a Colt SAA and a 44 Ruger Blackhawk for $849 in 1981 at insurance salvage auction. Some were stolen recovery and others had been damaged by house fire. The only things I knew about Lugers back then was that dad had brought one back from the war and they had some value. We split the cost and I took a 1914 dated one and had it reblued because of smoke damage to it. So, I know nothing about the past history of these prior to 1981. None of them are real pristine collecters condition execpt for maybe the Mauser one dad brought back and of course could never part with it anyway. Thanks again guys.
