Searching for specific Luger

boomer7 · 05-11-2020, 09:36 PM

Good evening and I appreciate the add. I know it is a long shot but I am looking for a very specific Luger. My Grandpa brought back 2 Lugers, SNs: 8296 and 3542, from Italy. I currently possess 8296 and I am looking for 3542. It was most likely sold in the oil fields of Oklahoma or Texas prior to 1980. Thank you.

There is a possibility that there are several Lugers with that serial number, as no letter suffix is on the paperwork. Even at that there could be Lugers with duplicate serial numbers even with the same letter suffix, but made in a different year. Such as 3542h in both 1938 and 1941, and other years as well.

Are you missing the side plate?

Yes, I am on that one.

Tom Heller has unmarked side plates!

Thank you very much. Replacing it is on my agenda.
