Toggle Wear~
5 Attachment(s)
One can tell how much use a luger been fired by toggle wear as long as not reblued~The top is the 1900 Test Luger with the least use`along with the 1900 Luger Carbine Below~

I noticed on the #86 pistol that the marks are not even, one side heavier wear. Would this suggest actual toggle wear? Out of alignment?
|
Only thing I can think of is that the ejector is on the right side of the gun and provides just enough resistance to make toggle slap wear a little uneven? His carbine (31) also has just a little slap wear on the left and virtually none on the right. I’ll go check my Lugers here soon to see if they display any similar patterns.

So my Lugers show no discernible pattern on this, though it is something I seem to have informally noticed as I have been handling more Lugers that the left side seems to get more slap.
In the order I attached the pictures below: 1. 1920 commercial. Whoever had it before I did shot the crap out of it. Left side has more slap wear. 2. My Brazilian Contract . Seems to have been shot little, can see a slight bit more toggle slap on the left than the right has developed. 3. GT built P.08 shooter. I have shot the ever loving crap of this particular gun (and manually manipulated it a ton too, this is the gun I used to truly familiarize myself intimately with the Luger). The pics never captured it as I tried, but in hand the toggle slap wear is dead even. 4. GT built Navy shooter. I have not shot this one, but also interested to see that the toggle slap wear so far is also dead even. 5. Refinished Erfurt LP.08. I have shot this a decent amount, and it’s slap wear-at least on the refinish-is biased to the RIGHT side almost completely… 6. Bonus, an RMI potmetal toy Luger with the working action. The wear doesnt match any of the other Luger patterns though. |

Thank You, like my the other ten each show some wear simular to your prettys. One exception is my 1902 Fat Barrel. I will borrow my daughters' camera and take a picture~ For now~There is no evidence of ever been fired~ no marks!
