Question on a Bringback Luger
This pistol was brought back from WWII by a friend's father - it includes a 1921 DWM Luger, all matching, a 1936 holster (in very good shape) with a takedown tool, and two non-matching magazines (one fxo unmarked, the other a wood-bottom that has a cracked bottom. Only a few pics - but the pistol is all matching with holster wear and good finish - strayed parts are 50% (best guess). Most important is the unit marking on the grip - any help on the meaning would be greatly appreciated - and a rough insurance value...the latter will be tough, I know, due to limited pics.

I'll take a stab at the marking, from the Weimar Reichsheer;
8th Infantry Regiment, Company 8, weapon 83. Lots of "8"s! Value - $1500 +/- $500 or so; but it really depends on a lot we can't see, and when, where, how, you sell it.

For what I can see it seems quite a nice rig, but I think it would be essential to have look at some more pictures of the whole pistol and of the holster.
