I wonder why "ShootStraightinc" thought it is Weimar era?

This is not accurate Richard. Despite what Dr Sturgess has written, 1917 Navies up to serial #1000n/s or so, had the earlier 1.8mm high serial numbers, all subsequent 1917's had the 2.4mm high numbers. The highest known small numbered 1917 is #989, the lowest known with large numbers is #1100.

Norm,
Thank you for that update, it is always good to add to my knowledge.

I'll add a 'post it note' to the relevant page of the 'Borchardt and Luger automatic pistols' for future reference.

Happy Thanksgiving

Richard
