When the guns were originally made, the factory put the serial number on a whole bunch of different parts, and on many guns some of these parts have been replaced over the years. A gun that retains all of its original matching parts brings a substantial increase in value.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to look at a standard WWII German Army Luger, which is the most common type in the US today, and show you where each of the number is on the outside and the inside. There are many other types of Lugers with somewhat different numbering patterns, but this will hopefully be a good primer for you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N Oracle #36270<br \/>Tucson, AZ 85704<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I am visiting Simpson Ltd in Galesburg, Illinois &#8211; the question we are look at is one of the most common they hear from customers: how do you tell if a Luger is all matching?
