Thanks Edward and Jan. Less than 2350 is amazing. This is my third Luger. Also have a DWM 1917 military and a 1917 DWM artillery with regimental marks. I believe I have posted the artillery before to rave reviews. Would we conclude the value on this one at $1575 as Aaron suggests? Did all the various police agencies from Gestapo to criminal police get asssigned this pistol? Sure would be exciting to have some idea as to the agency. Thanks to all. The exciting thing about forums is getting to know people who are passionate about the same things I am passionate about.

Steve, I guess I'm in the club now. Actually I paid $1275 and a forum member thought it worth $300 more. That is where the $1575 came from. If I was lucky at $1575 I am very lucky at $1275. Thanks for the comments. Dan

Dan, If you are looking for a gun that can be attributed to tne SS later for your collection the PP & PPK'S can be.
there are two books out on these. one by Joachim Gortz and Dieter Marschall the red book. and the other black book by Steven J Stepan.

here is one of my PP'S that is a RSHA SS issue it is a type 2 variation with slide numbered and no letter suffix under or after it. this one is 38 numbers before the first listed in the red and black book by found index cards of named SS guns. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

steve,

Hi Steve,
Really awesome pistol. My collecting is a little different than most. I live in a small town in Virginia and I run an ad my local newspaper wanting to buy guns. I really only buy what I get calls for people wanting to sell. Doesn't sound very scientific and it is not. In the last couple of years I have bought a number of great WWI and WWII guns, all from local sellers. If the phone rings and someone has a PP or PPK WWII pistol I will be all over it. I have been very lucky to sometimes getting surprised by a gun being more than I had anticipated. Like I said, not always scientific but always fun. I have wanted a WWII PP or PPK for some time. Maybe, the phone will ring today. Thanks for sharing you pistol photos. Remarkable condition.
