Hello Marc and others
I will try to answer the questions 1 The trigger, takedown lever and safety are strawed 2 The witness marks are in perfect alignment and of identical depth however I can see it with a flashlight and reading glasses but the forearm extension makes it impossible to get a camera picture. 3the grips may have a little darker appearance but the grain is the same along with the checkering. the barrel has the full serial number located near the barrel and receiver junction then a crown over end about 2 inches out from the junction that is then followed with a Germany stamping 2 inches further Thanks Charles ++ |

I also agree that it is probably a legitimate, although rare Navy Carbine variation. I'm just saying Charles would sleep much more comfortably if he had the documentation to back up the carbine's origin.

Does the serial number fall in range of accepted Navy Carbines?? That would help!! I can only make out #37439 I think. Mine is simular although a commercial. I would agree it's legit based on the findings thus far!!

Thanks Eric
You have a very nice Luger . The number on the barrel and extension read 48930 I would also like to know if this is the correct range . My cousin would like to sell but he bought it for significantly less than he wants me to pay but of course I understand because he has had it so long and it is an investment for him Thank You Chuck Lobrano |

IMHO, based solely on the photographs that have been displayed, I believe the gun, and all stock fittings are original, and PROBABLY falls within the ATFE C&R definition that has been mentioned previously. BUT, the stock and the forearm appear to be reproductions.
The checkering on the stock and forearm does not seem to ME to be up to factory standards. Still, all in all, it is a fine looking Luger and would certainly display well on MY wall.

John I would also agree. The foward grip is identical inside like mine.Its' serial number in carved on the inside of the grip. I would bet there is more simular ones out there. Eric

A barrel marked "GERMANY" is usually an indication that the barrel was imported seperately.

Hi George, Could this example be one of the "Pacific" imports that took orders for custom length barrels? I seem to remember that from the last catalog I had a chance to look at years ago.
