Hi, IÃ¢??m new to the board and collecting Lugers. I recently obtained my first Luger from a local WWII vet for $500. The Vet stated he brought the pistol back from Germany after WWII.

After my initial review I believe it is a 20Ã¢??s commercial Luger but am not able to identify it further. It is all matching with about 75% strawing remaining. The are only a few markings on the pistol which are Ã¢??DWMÃ¢?Â, Ã¢??GESICHERTÃ¢?Â, and a few small crown N marks. The serial number is 74,4XX. The Luger has a 4Ã¢?Â barrel and I believe itÃ¢??s chambered in 9mm. The pistol included a leather case, various tools, two magazines, and a leather lanyard. Inside the case is written Ã¢??F-3138Ã¢?Â. Let me know what you guys think.
