Hi Folks---A really super forum,very informative and friendly,a plus side of the internet and its reach.My neighbor sold me a Luger last week,he did'nt know what it was,said his Brother in laws grandfather brought it back from WWII. He died last month and they were disposing of his things.If any of y'all would help me id it and get a handle on the the value I would be very appreciative.I'll try to give you a good discription without pictures,but if necessary,I will arrange for them.I read your questions and replies to Mark R and I can see that you all KNOW your stuff.---1917 on top,directly behind 1917 is a small stamp-93,behind that-DMW and 93, then to the rear sight,which is an adjustable target sight mounted on the rear toggle with the word MICRO.Now to the left side--stamped in the barrel at the rear by the threads is 9MM Barrel by SS&D,moving back along the left side 6942,under that on the latch is 42,then back 1 inch to the sheet metal cover,42.now back 1 inch to the angled flat bar which moves up and down when the safety is moved, 42. under the safety,GESICHERT. now to the right side,four stamps just behind the barrel thread,from front to back--a standing eagle,--a S with a crown,---a S with a crown,-- a (looks like a CJ with a crown) now to the rear in the rough machined area,a block stamp with a 3 in it,--a block stamp(double border)can't read the number. Now to the bottom--just in front of the trigger guard 6342 with a C under. The Mag# is 3322,(made of wood). The barrel is 11&1/2 inches long with a fixed sight at front. The weapon is in very good cond. considering the florida climate conditions. It has a holster,brown leather,large flap.one strap to hold the gun in,two straps to hold the flap down. Snap buttons front and back,looks like some kind of shoulder rig. (I don't have the upper part. Hope this gives you all some clues. Best to you all. Codge.
