How to ID your Luger

Edward Tinker · 02-16-2011, 02:59 AM

When we are trying to help you, and we realize you may not know the terms and right way for a luger, but the following will help a lot.

1. Put what your luger is in the title (or whatever, 1917 DWM etc)

2. Pictures can make the process so much easier and you WILL be asked for them if you want any approx values; plus do #3 below....

3. If you can't do pictures, then give a good description; markings on the right, looks like eagle 655's? Markings on top of the gun, says DWM, and a date of 1916 of byf on the toggle and two larger numbers on the receiver of 41

4. When you post, go down a bit (use the NEW TOPIC) and there will be a drop down that says NOTIFICATION TYPE, this will send you an email (no one gets your email) and then you know folks have posted.

5. Pictures, this is slightly hidden, go just above Notification Type and click on manage attachments, this will cause a Pop Up window to open (so this must be turned on for this site) and then you go to your hard drive and choose the pictures.

6. Ensure pictures are not HUGE, it will try and shrink them down, but they must be reasonable size and then you will get to post them. if too large, you will get a "security token missing" / trust me, that means your photos are too big, some kind of glitch in the system.

The more info you give us, the more we can help.
