Lugar markings
Is there a source to describe the various markings on the P-08 Lugar? Secondly would there still be records to indicate what military unit was issued a certain gun and who it may have been issued to? I am sure this has been asked about before and I am unaware is it has.

A couple of good books are: Lugers at Random, by Charles Kenyon, Jr., and The Luger Pistol (Pistole Parabellum), by Fred A. Datig. These cover some markings. You can find the proof marks in: The Standard Directory of Proof Marks, by Gerhard Wirnsberger. As far as I know, no record exists of to which individual a particular pistol was issued, but many of the W.W.I vintage pistols will have unit markings stamped on the grip frames, and these can be translated. 0 -
Go to this site, http://www.lugerforum.com/ there is a menu on the left hand side of the screen, click on "Techincal Information" then click on "Markings".
Unless the Lugar has some unit or naval markings on it, your out of luck trying to find out who it was issued to.
