An elderly aquantience has a Luger. Hopefully I can tell him something about his pea-shooter. I am doing this from memory but can post photos if it turns out to be necessary.

The gun is chromed, barrel about 6"
The serial number is 6160, all numbers matching including the holster, the Nazi stamp is clear on the holster.
A "42" is stamped on the top of the receiver, I think there was BYN stamped on the gun too.

I would rate the gun at 97% because I saw no flaws or marks that would stand out.

Is this gun worth more effort to identify better and what is an approx value?

I recently bought a P08 Luger - Serial Number 62XX (trigger guard & frame) - made by DWG. It is marked 41 on the rear of the frame, all other numbers match except for the rear sight piece and the magazine.

The interesting marks are on the frame next to the Nazi marks. It has the Eagle over the Swastika, but it is also marked SS655. The SS is regular script, not the Runes or lightning bolts.

Does anyone know anything about these markings?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Any way to tell if this is the "Real Deal"?

A local pawnshop has a Luger that may be coming out of pawn soon. It's a standard 9mm, 4 inch barrel. All numbers match, including the clip. What I was wondering about was, there are no markings on top. NO date, no makers mark. It doesn't look like it's been polished. Is this normal? Also, it does have a stamp on the grip, in front. If I remember right, it's L.Sch.#---. There is a three digit number that I can't remember. What does that indicate? It seems like a good gun, about 50-60% bluing, good bore. I don't know what the guy will ask for it yet though. What's it worth?

Pass on the tradition, teach a kid to shoot.

Very confusing. It will take pictures to tell what you have. (And that monogram is DWM.)

I don't know about ss655 but Waa 655 was the inspection and acceptance office for Mauser in Oberndorff.

If our folks can't help, you might post your question(s) to the guys on the www.lugerforum.com they are very knowledgeable. Quality photos would help, greatly.

I don't believe that a "DWM" marked toggle would be correct, on a W W II era Luger that was marked with the Eagle and Swastika. Mauser took over production in the early 30's. All the Lugers made after the mid 30's, ( nazi era), would have either Mauser Banner or Mauser's 3 letter factory code, not the DWM monogram.

Thanks all. I will be home this weekend and will check the markings and try to get some pictures.

Thanks again.
