marking on TDL's
 

Without any reference books at the moment.. So I take liberty to post a picture in hope for any input on the markings :)

Steinar, this is a very interesting "set" of 5 TDL's. What is especially fascinating to me is that, at first, they just look like Erfurt proofed TDL's with the Fraktur proofs, BUT Erfurt TDL's typically (at least all I have seen) have the last two digits of the serial number also stamped. Where did you get these TDL's?

Doc,

Absent Steinar's answer, these could be parts which have been inspected but never assembled into a pistol--out of Erfurt's parts bin, for example, or armorer's spares.

I had similar thoughts, Dwight.

Sorry for my absence, always get these bad looks from my wife when spending time with Lugers in the weekends;)

To answer your question Herbert, I got them from an Norwegian arsenal. Along with unused and unmarked levers, both in black and straw.
Are they all Erfurt?

Four of them are Erfurt. The second-from-left is too dark to see the mark adequately to tell.
