Interested in buying first Luger

[FNorm]

B-on-B,

I'm going to go way out on a limb here. From your picture, 1936 and 7.65 do not jibe. Ask some questions of the seller:

1. The top toggle marking. Probably has a script DWM on the toggle.

2. Look for a crown over an N on the left front of the slide. Somewhere on the piece there may be a stamping, 'Germany', or made in 'Germany'

3. Get the serial number off the front of the frame, including any letter suffix.

This forum can tell you a lot about a luger, but we need some facts/pictures to work with.

For reference, here is what the top of a 1936, military 9mm looks like:
