What can you tell me about my Luger?

Hello Howard!

Yours fits the Weimar Alphabet SN DWM Lugers (Jan Still Weimar Lugers), with commercial proof on left receiver, bottom of barrel and the breechblock should also be stamped. The 1921s are have ones that are dated, and yours is one of the unmarked commercial subvariations. It states they are marked Germany, and yours was meant for commerical sales and so was marked Germany and is in 7.65mm.

These have long been termed 1920 commericials, but further research has shown that thye were made from 1921 - 1928 and the i suffix range was made first in 1921.

Price wise, that sounds about right, although I am not positive about that and think it is a bit high still for the caliber. I think he paid a premium 15 years ago for the gun.
