To add to Ron's post a bit...

According to Bobba, the "24" is a transitional pistol - and is very rare. I think I am correct in his interpreting his comments - and the "20", or "24" or "29" would be the parts Model that Bern used to designate which features/parts that production pistol had (the "24 has both later and newer parts between the more common "20" and "29" series).

So - the "24" appears to be a very limited production (of all designation - the "24" appears to be - termed a "transitional" model which several presentaion Lugers were based) - especially rare with the three line toggle marks.

When you get his book, refer to pages 140 - 144, but I think you find that you have a real gem!!! CONGRATS!

I'll keep reading, tho' ..!!!
