Location of serial numbers on 1917 Military DWM? FAQ's

RShaw · 02-12-2017, 04:27 PM

Thank you George! You're way too fast for me!

I have compiled a complete list here below from:
Standard Catalogue of Luger list (p.19): SCL
Frequently asked questions FAQ
George's additions (last 2 digits) G

The full serial number is found on 3 parts:
bottom of the barrel (with or without suffix) SCL G FAQ
front of the frame. (full WITH suffix) SCL G FAQ
Left front side of receiver all but the suffix G FAQ

The last two digits of the serial number are on the
breechblock (lower left side), SCL FAQ
extractor (bottom), SCL FAQ
front toggle link (bottom), SCL FAQ
rear toggle link (back), SCL FAQ
receiver (rear), SCL ??
side plate (bottom edge), SCL FAQ
takedown lever (bottom), SCL FAQ
trigger (top left), and SCL FAQ
grips (inside). SCL FAQ
Firing pin, G FAQ
safety bar G FAQ
hold-open G FAQ
sear bar FAQ
safety lever FAQ

Have I included all SN-marked parts now? Or.. have I repeated the same part twice here with two different names? I know this question is basic for most of you- I'm still earning the terms, and want to verify for myself that my 1917 DWM is, in fact, an all numbers matching gun.

FAQ has everything but the receiver (rear). Or am I overlooking something obvious and basic?

Thanks VERY much!
