This Luger looks like it came out the factory last week.
This Luger has some mysteries hidden in its history. It appears to be a Russian Capture due to the fact that it has some of the distinct characteristics found on many of the Russian captured weapons. These post WWII Russian rebuilt weapons include a complete rebluing of a firearm to a more blackish finish, serial numbers crossed out on smaller parts and then new ones added, and complete firearms being assembled from multiple parts from different weapons. The Russians would also normally mark these captured and rebuilt firearms with an 'X' mark.
While this Luger has some of these characteristics, it is missing others. For example, this Luger is missing the 'X' mark and the receiver, frame and toggle assembly all came from the same pistol. It is some what rare to find a Russian captured and rebuilt rifle with any two of its parts from the same firearm, save a barreled receiver where both the barrel and receiver would normally match such as those that have been found on numerous K98k rifles. It appears to many collectors that the Russians dis-assembled thousands of K98k rifles for example, and tossed all of their parts in a large bluing tank. Then when it came time to put the firearms back together again, they grabbed the needed part and gave no concern as to which weapon it was on originally. As long as the part fit and would function they were happy. That observation has been seen mostly on rifles. While on many pistols they did some thing different. The pistols would often be stamped with the 'X', but the original serial numbers are used and were not damaged or marked over.
Since this Luger has been reassembled from parts from at least two different Lugers, it will be interesting and a challenge to learn the history behind this pistol. Judging from the proof marks found on the main parts of this Luger, it appears to have been assembled with parts of a similar Luger model from around the world war one time period.
1918 Erfurt Luger Serial Numbers List
This Luger has been refinished to have a more blackish finish then the original bluing. All of the serial numbers have been scrubbed and new numbers have been added that match just the frame, receiver and barrel. Or stated another way, just the barrel, receiver and frame have matching numbers. On many of the smaller parts, the numbers have been scrubbed but new numbers have not been added. The frame and most of the toggle assembly are from the same Luger. The frame originally had a four digit serial number that appears to be 8475, but this number has been scrubbed and a new four digit serial number has been added that matches the receiver and barrel.

To summarize, the barrel, receiver and frame have re-stamped matching numbers. All of the numbers on the smaller parts have been scrubbed. The side plate has an etched two digit number that is not matching to either the original serial number or the new one. So could this be a Russian capture and refinished weapon? I can not say with certainty that it is, but I do feel strongly that it is one. While this Luger does hold some collector and monetary value, the Russians seriously destroyed its overall worth when they made all of these drastic changes from its original condition.

German Luger Serial Numbers
I may have the opportunity to purchase a German Luger from as far as I can tell was made in the mid 1920's. I'm not sure exactly but I think it was not a military piece. This pistol is very rough and will need a lot of TLC to get it in any kind of operational condition but I think it may have potential. Does anyone have an idea what I should offer for this thing? I am going to see if I can 'borrow' it for further evaluation and should have some pictures soon. Any one have knowledge of these pistols?
