This Luger was my grandfathers who brought it back from WWII. I'm trying to find out where and when and whom he got it from by reviewing all the old war documents he has. I suspect he killed a german for it. He had kept it with a german booklet, a badge, the holster, the bullets, the magazine and the tool. It appears that all numbers match. Just wonering if you can help me out by looking at the pictures and also give me a value of the gun. Not looking to sell, but just curious. Thanks, and let me know if the link works.

Scott,

See this thread: http://www.gunboards.com/luger/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=841

The character that looks like a reversed "J" has really not been identified. I seriously doubt that this is a Prussian mark. I'm also puzzled by the fact that the s/n on the barrel appears to be 1033b, while that on the frame is 103b. I know that the barrel proof of an eagle over Su25 has significance. Hopefully, someone who knows more about them will chime in.

Ed,

Several of the posts for these Lugers include stories about how they were obtained. A good research topic for you?

I know there's someone out there who knows all about the Soldbuch. I'd be interested as well.
