New to me Luger

I thought about that myself. I actually placed the nose of a 9mm round against that indentation and fits perfectly. The previous owner didn’t know any history about this pistol or how it made it’s way to the US.

That dent made me wonder. Was this gun shot out of the hand of a German (old movie style) by an allied soldier with a 9mm? Possibly a Sten? What other 9mm guns did the allies use? Or, could it have been hit by another Germans bullet?

When I placed the nose of the bullet in that dent the angle shows that the impact came from the front, lower and to the left of where the pistol was pointed.
