I bought the following pistol at an estate sale and know absolutely nothing about Lugers
I do not have any pictures right now.
Can you tell me anything about it? Date? Origin? Or where I may find more info on this pistol?
DWM Luger with proof marks ‘N’ and a small crown.
( I saw the ‘N’ inside it also)
Has a 4 digit serial #xx68 on it with most of the small parts showing just the last 2 digits 68
about a 4 inch kind of fat barrel – very worn,
The magazine has a cracked wood knob at the end and is hard to pull out-some pitting and rust on the sides
The wood checkering is very worn – almost flat- and one of the side pieces is loose.
The pistol has some rust on the inside but not a lot and is very dirty like it’s never been scrubbed or cleaned
It was a novelty buy, not something to shoot. However the sellers wife told me her husband did shoot it once in awhile.
It came with a black holster, newer looking barrel that was tapered and blued, and a very old box of german ammo stamped 1945.
I know this not much info but any help would be great if you chose too,
Thanks again in advance
