This is a K date Luger, serial # 10000. Most books claim that Luger's and P.38's were serial numbered
from 1 to 9999 in a letter block and then started over with 1 in the next letter block. This K date
and a P.38 in my collection are proof that the numbering actually went to 10000. This would make sense
because it would be more logical to keep track of the number of weapons produced. There is also a 1937
P.08 in Kenyon's book Luger's at Random that is serial numbered 10000. You may ask why more 10000 serial
numbered Luger's or P.38's have not shown up. How many of ANY one particular serial number have you ever
seen?

This gun is all matching except for the magazine which is # 550a and has the correct K Date proofs.
