I have a 1937 S/42 Luger that was left to me by my Uncle. He brought it back during WWII. It is complete with holster, takedown tool and two mags.
All matching serial numbers except for the mags. My question is there anyway to research the serial number to see what unit it may have been issued to. The gun is in near mint condition, 98% bluing, strawed trigger, perfect grips and a bright bore. My uncle told me that he never fired it, that means the last person to fire this gun was the German officer that he took it off of!!!
I will never fire it for this reason.
By the way my Uncle was awarded two bronze stars, silver star, and two purple hearts, he went in on D-Day plus 1 and served in Europe until 1946.
I also was left all of these medals, he was a great man who never talked about the war.
