New to Lugers - What is this Script ?
 

THis pistol has very few markings. There is this ornate mark on the top. What is it? There is a serial number on the frame, beneath the barrel -- ABCD (four numbers) followed underneath by what appears to be a lower case "a" .

A few other parts have the same last numbers, i.e., "CD".

That's all I can find !
(The magazine has a slightly different 4-digit number and some other marks. I assume it is not the original.)

With so little info, how do I ID this pistol?

Thanks for any help or direction...

an after market inscribed letters, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to find any info.....just enjoy gun

My guess is a commercial Luger with added monogram. "JB"? You can send more photos, but at this point it looks like a shooter, that is to everyone except Jim Beam.

Looks like someone ground flat the forward toggle and added their own engraving.

There must have been quite an ego behind the modification...

Looks more like a "JR" to me......JR Ewing's pistol?

I can see it as JBO, JLO, J&O, etc. I'll say JLO since those are my initials; why not?

Well now we know who shot J. R.
Hitler did...

I am at a loss as to your question? ;)

Revealing your serial number will reveal what?

No real info here, a tampered toggle that looks photo-shopped....

Give us the serial number, suffix, with pictures, show us right and left for any acceptance markings and we can pin point it a bit :)
