Dateless navy luger

JL,

Welcome to the Lugerforum.

Navy Lugers are often fraudulently created in an attempt to sell an ordinary Luger at an inflated price, but that doesn't mean that yours is... or isn't.

Do you have a way to post digital photographs? This would help those with the necessary knowledge to make a fair judgement on the originality of your pistol without having to personally hold it.

There are particular areas that should be shown in clear focus photos. They are the serial number area on the front of the frame/trigger guard, the area on the left front of the receiver where the Crown stamps with the "M" under them appear. The stamps on the backstrap. The area near the safety marking "gesichert" and of course, closeups of the rear sight/toggle assembly...

The W.K. with the number below it is a Naval Unit Marking and I am sure someone will shortly post what that means for you.

Overall photographs are more than welcome.

You did not mention the stamp on the forward toggle link (DWM, Erfurt or whatever)... This is also important information.

Does the gun have a grip safety?

Is there a date on the left side of the front sight base?

What is the diameter measurement of the flange on the rearmost toggle axle?

We look forward to seeing your Luger...
