the luger is a German design, not french. luger value depends on overall condition.......
No.
It is impossible to value a Luger with just a serial number.
The Luger P08 was a standard sidearm of the German Military in both World Wars.
luger were made to fire a 9mm cartridge or the 30 luger cartridge. a 9mm cartridge will not chamber in a 30 cal luger pistol............
luger production ceased about 1942. the P38 took over as the German military pistol during WW2..................any luger made after WW2 were after market pistols.
I believe you will find that the German Luger P08 went into production in the early 1900's. P08 basically refers to Pistol of 1908.The luger was used extensively during WW1 and WW2 by German forces.

if you look down on the luger top you will see a date. that is when it was made.....
9x19 millimetre, also known as the 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum.
German Luger pistols before 1902 used a proprietary 7.65mm bottleneck cartridge, sometimes referred to as .30 Luger in US. After 1902 Lugers used the 9mm round, also commonly known as 9mm Para (Parabellum) and 9mm Luger.
Good answer below. The "9mm Luger" is properly the 9mm Parabellum, but it is also called the Luger. There are about a dozen different cartridges with 9mm in their name, but the 9mm Luger is the best known.
