Opinion on 2 Lugers Please

Hi Jack, welcome!! You say the Luger serial is 7713 with no suffix. Please take a close look at the front of the frame just below the barrel. You should see a 7713, then below that you should see a letter. That letter will be the suffix. While it is possible to have a no suffix 1939 Cose 42, it is unlikely. The Germans stopped that series in the mid to late Z-Block.

If you are going by the numbers on the left side of the receiver, that's just the numerical portion of the serial number. The alpha portion is only found on the front of the frame for Military Mausers.

Let us know what you find!!
