Fritzer,

For a gun that was rescued from a tidal pool, that is a pretty sharp looking Luger. It is a total mismatch, all the parts have been put together from who knows what. But, that doesn't matter if it is the way your Dad found it.

The letter suffix "c" is part of the serial number, but the "control" serial number is found on the forward part of the frame under the barrel. If it is the same as the barrel, then you should have the gal at the sheriff's department add the "c" to the serial number. If it is different, then you should have her change it to the number on the frame.

You have a great family heirloom. For what it is worth, I would rather have a gun that was brought back by my Dad than a brand spanking new condition 1917 Luger. Treasure it and pass it on to your heirs. By the way, your Dad did a great job on those grips, the fit is perfect.
