Commercial .30 --what can you tell me about it?

phoneman517191 · 05-20-2021, 02:30 AM

Can it generally be said that a four digit serial number would mean that this Lugar is a 1920 Commercial? I also noticed that the crown and N on the left side of the receiver is upright--and not on its side when the pistol is held. Aren't the crown on its side on 1923 Commercials? I noticed that the extractor has geladen written on the side of it. What is a good source of printed information on commercial Lugers--aside from this forum? Thanks for responding. I have heard that daylight provides the best lighting for photographing markings on a firearm. I will give it a try tomorrow.
