    Help with Luger

    I picked up this Luger. It is all matching, it is .30 caliber. There is no import marks.It looks like imperial proof marks. But I am not sure what do I have. Is it export model, is it foreign country order? So any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Regards RD

        The small horizontal crown/N proofs and blank toggle indicate that it was assembled in Suhl during the Weimar period.

          So this is commercial Luger?

            It was originally assembled as a commercial model but judging by the serial number placement it may have gone into military or police service. Are you sure that it's 7.65 mm?

              Some parts show Erfurt acceptance marks, and right side appears to show where hold open was added with acceptance mark. This would date frame to 1913 or earlier,

                  Mr. Peppers is absolutely correct. At least the frame came from an early military but it and the upper were rreassembled and proofed at a later date in Suhl.

                    I am by no means "dissing" this pistol.... It is a most interesting assemblage of parts flying in loose formation!! I note no stock lug, and scrubbed toggle. They were doing some weird things back there right after WWI.
                    Thanks for showing, and thanks for expert input Johnny and GWA.
                    The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

                      No stock lug is correct on that pistol frame. Stock lug didn't start showing up until late 1913.
