My weekend question??

David,

The pistol is a Weimar stamped Army pistol (the 1920 property stamp indicates this). At some point it was transferred to a Police and the Sear Safety and magazine Safety added. VERY few magazines safeties were left intact. To make them inoperative, some just had the metal contact with the trigger "clipped" so it would not operate; mine is like this. As to the magazines being correct, it sounds like it may be. In the late 1920s they changed from the wood base to the aluminim base and stamped the pistol S/N on the base and the Number 1, 2, & 3 for the magazines. The number 1 was the main mag and the 2 & 3 were the spares respectivly.

I love these old WWI, Weimar and Nazi used Lugers. They really have a long history of sevice.
