DWM and Mauser Serial Number Ranges?
I'm still trying to get a handle on DWM and Mauser serial numbers. I've looked around in the forums but so far only find bits and pieces. Of course Jan Still's books cover the subject well but they're out of print and difficult to find. Of the books I do have only Aarron Davis' "Standard Catalog Of Luger" gives much detail (probably using Jan Still's data as his source).
If anyone has the time I'd sure appreciate any help. This is what I have so far, does it look anyhere close? Or any web links to more on this? Thanks, Bob.
