Hi Eric,

I am not sure who is telling you or how you have concluded that all 1920's 9 mm carbines should be in the 't' suffix block only.

If Ralph Shattuck, he has probably forgotten about this one that went through his WOL shop a year or two ago.

2 guns with a 't' suffix should not lead one to believe all such 1920 9mm carbines must have a 't' suffix.

Also...be cautious of those 100% finish lugers. A gun might be 100% finish, but the more important question should be - Is the finish DWM factory original ?

(The text, below, is what I have posted to you on Jan's Gun Board, as well.)

" Hi Eric,

I recall at least two (2) more 1920 carbines in 9mm going through the Shattuck's WOL shop in the past 3-4 years. Here is one that was listed on one of his previous Lists. I did a cut& paste from his preivous web site list to a MS Word document file; for future reference about this 9 mm 1920's carbine.

As you can see, this one did not have a 't' suffix after the serial number. As you can see from the WOL ad below, this carbine had a serial number of # 36640.

I saw another one (or maybe the same one) in person that Shattuck had at a past Reno gun show about 2 years ago. It was mint as if it just came out of a DWM shop, yesterday. It might have been the one described below, but at the Reno show I did not make note of the serial number as the finish had blinded me
