Those are Weimar Army unit numbers on your double date. If you weapon is all matched, except the mag, why do you really consider it to be a shooter?

There is considerable history involved here. It was orginally issued to the Imperial Army in 1918, then reissued to the Weimar Army after 1920 and when the nazis moved into power they eliminated any unit markings, so it was again reissued to the "New" German Army after 1933. This Luger traveled a lot during it's military "career" until it was captured by, in all probablity an American GI and was brought to the US. If this gun could only talk, what stories it would tell.
