My grandmother was born in Argentina in 1936, daughter of german family. Around 1945, a german soldier appeared in their farm at the Patagonia. He didn't speak spanish and he was severely dehydrated and exhausted. My great grandmother spoke with him, and he spent two nights under a huge ombu tree. One day when my great grandmother had gone to visit him, he was already gone nobody knows where. He left his his uniform and his Luger at the place with two bullets. Some years ago my grandmother gave it to me and I really want to know about it.

Looks like a standard commercial model 1906 “new model” Luger for private sale in Germany. That’s an awesome story for how you got it too.

Cool grip safety on a 30 cal Luger.
Do the numbers on the mag match the numbers on the frame?

I am pretty sure the safety position is standard for grip safety Luger.
I don't see any Navy markings or rear sight |

Anyone recall seeing the S stamped in this location?
Is 'Geladen' or 'Loaded' stamped on the extractor? Last edited by Pistol; 10-09-2024 at 10:06 PM. |

Its 6" barrel is somewhat out of the ordinary, but not particularly uncommon. It is essentially impossible to determine anything about its previous owners beyond your story. Its value depends in large part on its condition and originality, both of which appear very good. $2k, more or less, would be a reasonable ballpark for what it might fetch when sold, but it also would depend on the exact price agreed to by both buyer and seller. I recommend that if you truly have interest in Luger pistols you should do lots of reading of the available info here on the forum. World class collectors and authors are members. One consolidated source for info is the FAQ linked ta the top of every page. Enjoy your Luger journey!

It’s not a 6” barrel but a standard 4.75” one. It’s mostly a standard “new model” 1906 commercial in .30 cal for non-export sale, which makes the origin story provided interesting. That and the Gesichert instead of leaving the “safe” position in the white as seen on many of the pre-war new model setups like both of my model 1906’s.
