Congratulation with the Luger charly. Mauser sure made some nice Lugers..

My detail vision is not the best.. but the # on the toggle looks like 7X instead of 1X and the suffix looks like an "a" (pre bakelite). Can be worth checking out if recently bought as a "black widow".

Looks like a very nice Luger. I can appreciate some sensitivity about disclosing serial numbers (although complete numbers are posted all the time on this forum and others) but I can't recall ever seeing anyone going to the lengths you have. Your statement that it is all matching is good enough for me but showing the small parts numbering is no big deal. Those black dots obscure much of the enjoyment of looking at a nice gun.

That's a nice looking Widow, but I think she may have measles... :)

sorry for covering ...the number is




a 413

imo a early bird


but is this now a black widow or not??


after my vacances i will post better pics

Charly, your Luger serial number is 413a. The 41 byf production started in the middle of the O-Block (some say the N-Block) and ended in the early B-Block, so your pistol is rather late. I would say November or December 1941. IMO the black Bakelite grips could be proper from about the U-Block on, so that makes 413a logical candidate for these grips as original.
