First Luger...many questions?

texas1 · 04-03-2010, 02:41 AM

I recently got my first Luger and i'm trying to figure out what i have. What i do know is it Has 1915 date serial # 4882 stamped on 7 different locations except clip shows serial number 2825 and has a + sign on it. There are 4 different symbols stamped on the barrel last one looking like a bird " eagle maybe" ?The word Gesichert is stamped by safety and the letters DWM on top. I've searched and saw different guns stating "stock lug" and extractor marked "Geladen" . What does this mean and how do i know if i have them? Where do i look? Any other info anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. I apoligize if these are rookie questions but i'm new to the Luger world and hope to find books and articles to learn all i can about this new addition. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you might have ! I will post some pictures as soon as i figure out how
