1939 Luger

Hi,

This is only a guess, but I would say that some parts were switched, and this is not a fluke or out of sequence gun. I feel the U suffix block is well beyond any transition period -- Q, R, S, T, and U -- at least 30,000 guns -- and any transition gun would have taken place in the Q or R blocks. I just don't think it is correct to have a mix of these test proofs, as that would indicate to me that the gun was not assembled, accepted, or tested at the same time. Just my thoughts.
