Otter42 Posted March 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2022 This was a bring back from WWII. Was purchased in Poland for 2 cartons of Lucky's. I wanted to know info on the pistol. I'm fairly certain it's not military issue. Thanks for any help on proofs or year. Barrel and frame have mismatched serial numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted March 14, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2022 I am pretty sure it is a luger from the great war, A Prussian made, I believe those markings with the crown proof stamps are Prussian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted March 15, 2022 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2022 It looks like a "Frankenstein" with mixed parts to me. It has a commercial Crown/N marked toggle assembly and military proofed Crown/letter small parts. It has mixed serial numbers so these parts were put together to make a Luger. It is not Prussian military issue because there are no firing or acceptance markings on the chamber. At best it is a "shooter" rather than a collectible military or commercial P.08 IMHO.

T BIRD Posted April 1, 2023 Share #9 Posted April 1, 2023 HELLO, OTTER42. IS THERE A CHANCE TO GET THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL? ALSO IS THERE A SIMILAR CROWN over N ON THE BARREL LIKE THE ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RECEIVER ? I THINK I MAY BE ABLE TO ELABORATE A BIT MORE ON WHAT YOU HAVE. THANKS, BEST.
