Ed,
* Man, I knew there was a reason you're on my Christmas list!! Keep that up and I'll think you're bucking to get into "The Will". Thanks for your kind vote of confidence.

Greg,
* Had to go back & review your Luger pistol post. Now, given your "b" block G-date, I'd have to agree with you an E/154 marked tool is a more technically accurate choice. Intuitively, at least, it provides a more pleasing closure.
* A review of Frank's G-date Waffenmark mark research may be of interest to you. http://forums.lugerforum.com/lugerfo...c;f=2;t=000700
* Since the dE/63 acceptance started about 4 months after your pistol was completed, I'd also not be surprised if some early "G" dates weren't issued with a dE/63 tool at the depot. Given your '36 dated holster, a dE/63 fitting a G-date, and the more frequent appearance of the dE/63 tool, I opted to recommend a dE/63 tool search to you for the reasons others have given above.
* Seems Ed's strategy of a dE/63 now and a E/154 when it feels right is a sound approach.
* OBTW: You might want to contact Don H at drh@oz.net. He recently acquired two E/154 marked mags (S/N'd 2642c and 3758c) for his research. These are only about 4k to 5k off your pistol's S/N.
* What is the S/N of the dE/63 marked mag you've found? I have a dE/63 marked 1936 "f" block which could always use a bolt of mag matching enlightenment.

Pete,
* A stick winged eagle/63 marked tool, shown in the Simpson URL, is a little late for Greg's early "b" block G date. More appropriate for mid 1937 to late 1939 marked example, I'd think. Great source, though, for Greg's search.

Respectfully,
Bob
