A lady here at the office got a Luger from her Mother.It was this ladys Fathers 'War Trinket'.
Like about everything else in this world,I'm about ignorant when it comes to European Firearms.
The only number she could find at a quick glance is 6050.
1914.
Then the letters DWM.

It is a beautiful weapon.

Hi, PT!
There must more than that, at least some profhouse stamps and imperial acceptance stamps since it is a WW1 army weapon. there should be some marking on the front face of the grip with unit identification markings.
Unless it was owned privately by an officer who bought it on his own money but in this case too, there are more markings.

Thanks for the reply,Edmond.
The Lady gave me those numbers.
This gives me a reason to get my hands on this fine Pistol.
I'll try to get some pics too.

Ok
The 1914 DWM was made in Berlin.
Approx number manufactured was 35,000
It should have :
A 4" 9mm Barrel
A thumb safety with "Gesichert" Stamped on the frame, safe in rear position.
A bolt hold open mechanism after the last round is fired.
A stock lug
Excellent fit and finish, rust blued with straw finish on trigger, safety, ejector, mag release and action release.
This inside of the pistol should not be blued and should still be in the white.
Only about 1% of 1914 dated Lugers will have unit markings of any sort.
It should not have a relieved sear bar.
The last 2 number in the serial number i.e. 50 should be stamped on most of the other parts of the gun.
It is very rare that the serial number on the magazine (nickel plated, timber bottom) will match the number on the pistol itself.
There should be matching witness lines stamped at the junction of the barrel and action on the underside of the barrel indicating whether the barrel is original or not.

A very nice pistol indeed if it is still in good condition with matching serial numbers etc etc.
You can honestly say "They don't make 'em like they used to" with these things.
I mean, checkered walnut grips on a battle pistol!!

These really are a beautiful thing when in good condition and can be worth a pretty penny in the right condition, so beg, borrow or steal it if at all posible
