Blank Chamber, "s" suffix, M/anchor/N.
 

Just looked at one of these, had an unnumbered safety bar (sear block), blank chamber date, C/N proofs and was M/anchor/N.xxx marked on the rear gripstrap.

I know it's a Weimar Reichsmarine luger... should the safety bar be numbered?

Anyone have a ball park value on such a piece w/ unnumbered safety bar?

Thanks for any help,
Jack

Hello Jack,

I checked my Weimar Navies (9 total); the DWM blank chambers do not have sear bar numbering.

Values are all over the board; having said that, Weimar Navies are far rarer than Imperials or III Reich, but not much is known about them. I will change that when my book is published.

Some bad pics...
 

Just working out the new cam in poor light. Here's the general idea:

I'll have better pics in a few days.

Jack,

The small parts of DWMs with "s" suffixes ("29 DWMs" per Jan Still's nomenclature) were originally numbered in the commercial (hidden) style. Unless the purchaser re-stamped them in military style, they stayed that way. Apparently, the Navy did not.
