Default Re: star and 1936 marks

Joshua, I am guessing your Luger was originally made in 1906, it has similarities with a 1906 Vickers Dutch and a 1906 Dutch Luger (Kenyon definitions) It has a brass plate like the 1906 Vickers but it has the DWM toggle like the 1906 Dutch. The serial range 1149 could be in either of these two variation ranges (Kenyon) The Right Receiver mark is consistent with A Dutch Colonies Marking (Costanzo) (unsure of what variaitons this was used on. the 1936 barrel marking is the DATE of REFURBISHing, probably a barrel change. The Star on the chamber is consistent with Dutch Indonsian Markings (Constanzo) I am afraid there is no one variation know to me anyway that has all these markings together that is documented as a verified variation. I do not know how they all came to be on your Luger but I thought I would relay what I found. I have no way to verify this information but it is found in various Luger reference books! Thor
