The serial number of the Luger is found on the front of the frame underneath the barrel. The remaining parts have the last of the two digets of serial number stamped on all the remaining parts. From the drawings of the proof marks provided it appears that you might have a Imperial German Naval Luger. How long is the barrel and is it 9mm. Does it have a grip safety on the rear grip strap?

the serial number is 29 on all parts of the including the the place on the frame
as you said .

and there is no grip safty on the back
do u know what year is the gun?

thanks

without seeing it I would assume it is 1914. That is, provided it is not a rework of some kind. What is the lenght of barrel ? Caliber ?

 

[Guest]

its a 9mm and the barrel is the short one

Based on the proofs listed as #11, the three crowns over Xs shown above, you probably have an early 1908 Military (or commercial) Do the Xs appear on the left or right side of the receiver.

Are there any markings on the grip straps?

As Thor has indicated, marking #11 would suggest 1908, particularly if there is no stock lug. The serial number 29 would be very early military production in 1908. If there is a small letter a or b under the serial number on the frame, it would signify later production (a=10000, b=20000).A triangle with a T in it on the barrel could indicate possible early Russian or Bulgarian rework. Your Luger has an odd combination of serial number and markings. Photos will be very helpful.
