It's a bit difficult to tell without being able to visually examine the pistol for other markings. With the Luger and P-38 pistols both, serial numbers were repeated several times over.
if you look down on the luger top you will see a date. that is when it was made.....
if you look at the top, over the chamber, there should be a date.............
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............
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.
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.
look on top of pistol, just behind ejection port and you will see date it was made
the frame
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.
