Pete,

I havenâ??t the slightest idea.

I would rule out #1 since I have seen early Lugers with the sideplate, rear of the toggle, and recoil lug numbered with three digits. That would be a lot of replacement parts on one gun.

The second option doesnâ??t seem likely since there are a lot of 5-digit Lugers out there with only the last two numbers on the small parts.

I guess that leaves us with #3 for the time being, unless someone with real insight into the workings of DWM can give us a better explanation.
