So far so good. You have an early luger with no stock lug, but we would need to see photos of all the markings to tell you more.

sorry about the quality the inside grip says 142. R.M.G. 70 and the top has the DWM calligraphy stamp and 1910 above it

and it has 3 markings close to the barrel
the markings on mine close to the barrel are numer 13

Zachary,

Welcome to the forum.

Your posting #3 links to a Google Mail account rather than pictures. Since it has a "hash" key in it that may have unlocked access to your mail account at one point, you either don't really want to do this, or are messing with us. The link isn't working.

In either case, I'd delete the posting if I were you, and try again with images that have been stored to your computer.

To get sharp closeups of the markings, use a tripod; use the closeup setting of your digital camera; use a self timer to eliminate camera shake; do not use the flash, and take them under indirect (shaded) sunlight.

You likely have a nice pre WW-I Luger; a pair of late WW-II magazines (FXO marked E/37)? and could have a holster from either era depending on the markings.

If it's all matching, read the posts here about breaking numbered Luger parts before you take it out and shoot it.

Marc
