Hi my dad passed away last year and left me his prised luger. I was finally able to drive back to N.J to retrieve it . From your site and another Ihave been able to learn that it is a Krieghoff byf serial#3966 Ithink it has a stylized lower case u on the triger guard . all parts match with the exception of the mag. it,s # is 7950 n I have a few questions maybe you can help first it has no regimental markings of any kind why ? and is there any way to find out who once was issued this gun or when? I have seen this gun refered to as a black widow .this gun has no die mark on the barrel . My dad was stationed in Italy and was tasked with dumping guns in the ocean during the occupation im not sure if this is how he acquired it . i guess id like a little history . Thank you for any help
